Khaberni - After more than 24 years of disappearance, the Egyptian actress Mona Lisa, star of the film "Homam in Amsterdam", reappeared, revealing the reason for her sudden absence from the art scene at the peak of her success and fame. She stated that she got married and migrated to the United States with her husband after the release of the film "Friends or Business", where she gave birth to three daughters and preferred to dedicate herself to raising them. She noted that the difficulties of the art scene at that time made her live a conflict between continuing in the arts or withdrawing, before she finally decided to step away.
The sudden appearance of Mona Lisa made some remember a number of actresses who disappeared suddenly while at the height of their fame, most notably the actress Nourhan, star of the series "Family of Hajj Metwally" and "Market of the Era", where Nourhan vanished from the art scene without anyone knowing the reason. She tried to return in recent years through minor roles, but she could not regain her prominent status in the television drama world as before.
Marriage and Childbirth.. and Teaching
Nourhan said that during her absence, she got married and gave birth to her only son "Moaz", and separated from her husband after several years of marriage. She also worked in teaching, currently serving as an English language teacher at an international school in Cairo, alongside her work in the arts.
The actress Monia, one of the stars of the series "Hajj Metwally", was among the actresses who disappeared suddenly. After achieving great success in the series, she did not present works at the same level as her role in the famous series, and then she disappeared thereafter without mentioning the reason. She tried to return anew through some theatrical works, but her comeback did not achieve the same previous success.
Merna Walid
Merna Walid was among the actresses of the nineties generation, who gained significant fame in the Arab world after participating in the series "Mountain Wolves" with actor Ahmed Abdelaziz, as well as the series "Yesterday's Story" with Elham Shaheen. However, she got married to a pilot and had three children, which kept her away from the art scene for many years, although she currently participates in some television programs and theatrical performances.
The audience remembers the actress Huda Hany, one of the stars of the series "Wanis Diaries", who gained wide fame after participating in parts of the series and some other dramatic works such as the series "The Disgrace". However, she disappeared for years due to marriage and childbirth, as she could not coordinate between her artistic life and family life, preferring to distance herself from the scene.
Marriage.. and Hijab
This generation of disappearing actresses was preceded by a large number of actresses who suddenly distanced themselves from the art scene for various reasons, including actress Laila Hamada who retired from acting and wore the hijab and has been away from the scene ever since. The same goes for actress Mashira Ismail, who participated in a large number of artistic works, the most famous of which is the play "El Wad Sayed Al Shaghal", and who also retired and has only appeared through social media after her crisis with young actress Aya Samaha.
Mona Gabr.. and Iman El-Toukhy
Similarly, actress Mona Gabr, who disappeared since 1988, decided to wear the hijab and distance herself from the art scene, followed by actress Iman El-Toukhy who also left the art scene since the nineties of the last century and has not disclosed the reason behind her retirement.
The list of actresses missing from the art scene also includes actress Laila Shaer, Nahed Yousri, Abeer El Sharqawi, Huda Ramzi, Mai Abdel Nabi, and others
