Sabah "Al Shahroura " TV Drama Starring Carol Samaha

Maybe you heard they are making a movie about the life of the Lebanese diva Sabah صباح, if you do not know who Sabah is, we have a problem. all you need to know that he was huge in 50s, 60s and 70s, her singing and her acting made her famous...but most people love the songs from her movies which she voiced. She often sings as the confused lover who longs for his loved one...either distance or disputes drove them apart. She is our golden girl, she is the Betty White of Arabia and she still alive at 83. she has released about 50 albums, that is 3500 songs. not just that she has appeared in 98 movies. She is often referred to as Al Shahroura

Next Ramadan her fans will be in luck as the tv drama about he life will be aired then. There was a long dispute about who will take on the role...a dozen of Lebanese songstress completed for the role. Carol Samaha won fair and square. I have to say it was a surprise as Carol has the voice no question about it, but does she have the charm and the charisma...we have to see. I thought Rolla Saad will be the one taking on the role as Sabah seemed to have mentored her and shared the stage when they had two awesome duets few years ago.

So we got a picture of Khabar 3ajil with the first picture of Carols Samaha as Sabah, I am sure it will be something worthy of this Lebanese Arab icon who continues to live in Lebanon and breath Lebanon.

On another note, doesn't the makeup make you think of the movie Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton? I do not know this picture make the artist look slightly creepy, maybe it's just me
