Laila Elwi

Star Laila Elwi, who began her artistic career in 1977, is one of the stars who shone in cinema, theater and television. Her personality is characterized by spontaneity and her love for her audience. I remember one day we were having lunch together at the "Burj Al Hamam" restaurant in Broummana, Lebanon, and as soon as she appeared on the restaurant stairs leading to the outdoor courtyard overlooking the mountains, a group of girls gathered around her wanting to take pictures with her, and she responded with all spontaneity and joy. In an interview with Al-Mawed magazine, Laila Elwi said: "Art gave me more than it took from me. It gave me fame at an early age and this great treasure that I live by, which is the love of people."

This exclusive photo was taken by Al-Mawed lens of the star Laila Elwi in her early days, during a photoshoot for Al-Mawed cover on the banks of the Nile in Cairo.
