Egyptian artist Sahar Kamel passed away on Monday morning after a more than 40-year artistic career, during which she participated in a number of successful films and excelled in timeless comedic roles. Egyptian actor Mohamed Ali Rizk announced her death via his personal Facebook page, commenting on a photo of her: "She passed away to the mercy of God, my friend and big sister, and the first one who helped me become an actor." He continued: "She taught me what to do and would take me to casting offices... she would hold the scripts and help me memorize, and she understood me."
Kamel became famous through several characters she presented in well-known films such as "Al-Nazir," "Jana Al-Bayan Al-Tali," "H. Dabbour," and "Hahaha and Tufaha," among other works that won audience admiration. One of her most famous roles was alongside actor Mohamed Saad, where she delivered her famous line: "By God, what do I care, ya Lemby!".
Kamel first appeared on screen in 1979 when she played the role of "Amaal" in the film "Al-Baheth," after being discovered by renowned director Nagy Angelo. The late artist participated in nearly 70 works throughout her career, but the last three years did not see her involvement in any artistic project.
