There are some artistic faces and the harshness of their features or the harshness of their voice possessed by the roles of evil to stick with them throughout the course of their lives, reflecting their reality on the ground, often like the artist Naima Al-Saghir, who was famous for the character of the piece.
The artist, Naima Al-Saghir, was not the one who mastered stealing children and releasing them in the works of Al-Shehata in the movie “The Goblins” with Amr Diab, but it was the fate that transformed the life of the young girl who moved from working on the shores of Alexandria as a monologist dreaming of working as a singer, to the villain of cinema for about 30 years.

Destiny changes the path of our mother Al-Ghoula. Destiny played its game with the artist, Naima Al-Saghir, and transformed her from working as a singer. She dreamed of competing with Umm Kulthum and becoming the first lady of singing. The great director Hassan Al-Imam discovered her on one of the beaches of Alexandria and transported her with him to Cairo, to perform the famous singing role “Medicine and I”. Mali” in the movie “The Two Orphans” in front of the star Faten Hamama in 1948.
She soon became professional singing under the lights of Cairo, until she was exposed to an accident caused by one of her colleagues, as she recounted, confirming that she had poisoned her in a cup of tea that almost killed her, and after escaping from it, her voice disappeared completely, and she remained for years until she began to return to her a coarse, masculine voice. And it was a reason for her to play the roles of evil that she was known for throughout her life, and she got the nickname “The Lady of Egypt El Ghoula”.
Although fate did not allow her to record songs on discs, she still has a small balance saved in videos on YouTube, and achieves high views.
Friendship with the leader The artist, Naima Al-Saghir, occupied the role of the evil protector with her frightening features, and the viewer did not forget the tone of her voice as she called for “Ramadan” her daughter’s fiancé to come down from the rooftops to fill her with water from the street, in the movie “Ramadan over the Volcano”.
Since then, she has maintained a friendly and friendly relationship with the great star Adel Imam, and he was the only one from the artistic community who participated in the funeral of her body, as well as the role of “Umm in front of the matchmaker”, who was focused on women in the movie “The Promised Night” in front of the screen monster Farid Shawqi, and the able Karima Mokhtar. And the cinema genius artist Ahmed Zaki, as well as her brutal character in the movie “The Apartment is the Right of the Wife” with the magician Mahmoud Abdel Aziz and His Excellency Zayed.
Naima’s nickname “Al-Saghir” The artist Naima Al-Saghir acquired the nickname “Al-Saghir” from her husband, the popular singer and well-known monologist at the time, Muhammad Al-Saghir, who was known for his song “I’m All I Say Repentance”, which was later reproduced with many voices, the most famous of which are Abdel Halim Hafez and Magda El Roumi. With the words of Abd al-Rahman al-Abnoudi and composed by Baligh Hamdi, it is considered one of the classics of Arabic singing.
What many do not know about Naima Al-Saghir, is that despite the sharpness of her features, the harshness of her voice and her mastery of the roles of evil, she was one of the most tender artists in feelings, and her “tears on her cheek” as told by those close to her, and how she was affected by the least scenes, even a shot in the street, and she was known for generosity. And her generosity in charitable deeds, and it can be said that Naima al-Saghir achieved a respectable material profit that was enough to guarantee her a decent life, especially in her late days, but she lost or more accurately spent everything on the poor and the needy.
Important stations in the life of the villain of cinema One of the important stations in the life of Naima Al-Saghir is that she participated in some famous commercials, including an campaign for Al-Shamdan Company, which was very famous in the eighties and nineties, and its owner was later accused of being my brothers, and the advertisement was directed by Salah Habib, And he refused to show it on Egyptian television on the pretext of her performance of outward suggestions, which is the story that the make-up Muhammad Ashoub told.
Certainly, it was not logical to accuse an artist of the size, value, age, and body of Naima al-Saghir of making extraneous suggestions, which was indicated that the Brotherhood were behind the rumor, as television was the Brotherhood’s gateway to intrusion into public life, so , which can only be calculated on the comedic genre, was banned.
