Omar Sharif
Egyptian Facebook users were stunned on the morning of Friday 10 June to find a post by Omar Jr, the grandson of Omar Sharif with a photo of the young man in the tender embrace of his grandfather and the caption: “Allah alone lives on forever”, an expression used by Egyptians to denote someone’s death.
Even though Sharif was known to have suffered from Alzheimer’s, news of his death at 83 came as a shock. The icon of the silver screen who started as a local widely popular star and went on to become an international figure, the gifted actor with the dark good looks passed away in a hospital on the outskirts of Cairo. Egyptians were grieved; they deeply felt the loss of a man who had become a central figure on the film scene for some 60 years. For many, his death almost marked the end of an era.
