Secret of magic success in belly dance is simple. You must dance for your own pleasure, for your happyness. Like Samia dances. Only subject to this condition you can become real belly dancer

@halfpintmya thats the best way to respond. in addition we should consider at the same time that without samia, tahia, and all the other egyptian jems of that time there would be no Sadie, Jilina or ANY western dancers for that matter. Those women were true visionaries, rebels, and innovators taking a folkloric dance customarily performed in front of family and friends and making it a hypnotizing and glamorous performance art.

in 94 she was diagnosed with colon cancer, and at her last bday she danced her last dance saying she is happy with her life and what god gave her. she then went to organize her coffin and funeral. her last wish was to see fareed in heaven.

thats her life in short, you can return to my first post in the previous page to read the whole posts from the beginning

in 85 then realized her money is getting lesser and lesser, so she left her famous apartment in cairo to use the rent money and lived with her sons in her old sister apartment and used the money to let them complete their studying. at that time economic changes were huge in egypt, and all prices became higher. so in 86 she returned to dancing when she was 62, tourists came to see her, but then after months she left dancing when her older son/nephew found a job

roshdy a very famous actor and a kind man from a famous family in egypt, but was alcoholic and a womanizer, that was the reason for problems between them, but since they loved each other, they were able to be married for 20 years, in 78 he was drinking all the time and they were finally divorced for the third and last time. he died in 1980 due to drinking problems

at that time she adopted her nephews and gave them money to complete their school and university studies, they were 5 sons of sister

[Sweetcleopatraa]

she then decided to return to egypt, she couldn't take any money with her back.

she started again working in many successful egyptian movies and her salary became the biggest between stars.

in 58 while acting the movie the second man she met her second husband roshdy abaza, a famous actor, they married for nearly 20 years, they had 3 divorces but once divorced they were soon remarried. roshdy had a girl from a previous marriage that samia adopted, and she stopped acting and dancing in 62

[Sweetcleopatraa]

she then decided to end her relation with fareed and married an american man to get out of the country and the press.

she married a wealthy man who became a muslim to marry her, his mother didn't approve that and didn't give him the family money. samia worked in many clubs in us and was successful but her husband who became her manager took her money, and when she asked to take the money he refused. at the same time the 52 revolution erupted in egypt and the king went to italy

[Sweetcleopatraa]

one journalist made a comment that samia can't marry fareed nor farouk cause they are both royal and she is only a country girl who became a belly dancer, he meant farid not farouk cause it was impossible for the king to marry her any way, he was just making fun. when she knew she cried for days and taheya asked farid to marry her but he couldn't for the reason i told you before. when samia finally confronted him he had nothing to say so he told her she's king lover and the all country knows

[Sweetcleopatraa]

in 49 king farouk made her the national dancer, ending formally the era of taheya but she and taheya remained friends till the end, samia danced in many national occasions, the press made stories about an affair between her and the king, but nothing is proved, she always denied having an affair with him

in 51 she went to paris and danced to king farouk in his vacation and his friends , the press in egypt covered the story in a way that angered farid

[Sweetcleopatraa]

at her bday, he gave the present, the contract of the movie, she nearly fainted. the movie shown in 47 is one of the most successful movies in egyptian cinema history. they starred in 6 movies together from 47 to 51

troubles began between them when she asked him to marry her, but he couldn't marry her or any one else and remained unmarried till the end of his life cause he was a druz prince and could only marry a druz woman

another problem appeared when king farouk appeared

[Sweetcleopatraa]

in 46 fareed was bankrupted and the owner of the club refused to up his salary, he decided to leave the club so samia decided to leave the club with him too, she went to work with a huge salary in a club near suez canal.

fareed who is a great singer and composer decided to make a huge movie and asked many businessmen to support him, so samia decided to support the movie without his knowledge, she didn't know he was going to ask her to star the movie with him
