Today Marks Hassan Fayek's Death Anniv.

Today (Sep. 14) marks the death anniversary of Hassan Fayek, who was born on January 7, 1898.

Despite his humble beginnings and the life obstacles, Fayek's legacy lives on as an inspiration to those who face adversity. 

Fayek began his acting career on stage in 1914 and later transitioned to film, with notable roles in "His Highness Wants to Marry" and "The Chant of Hope".

He is known for his roles in "Street of Love" (1958), directed by Ezzel-Dine  "Sukkar Hanem" (1960) by El-Sayed Bedeir.

Fayek also had leading roles in "Hassan, Morcos, and Cohen" and "Qaraqush's Rule".

Unfortunately, his career was cut short by physical paralysis, which prevented him from returning to the theater. Despite this setback, Fayek starred in three films released after his paralysis, including "The Reason and the Money".

The actor, whose charming childlike laughter and innocent behavior captivated millions of Arab audience, passed away on this day in 1980.
