Ramzy Hamoud Bayoumy was born to an Egyptian father who worked as a doctor and a Scottish mother. He studied at the al-Ourman school and then at the Victoria school. Ramzy then enrolled at the faculty of commerce but did not complete his college education and began his film career. He practiced sports and portrayed the role of the light hearted, mischievous young man. He became a close friend of ‘Umar al-Shereef and ‘Abd Al Halim Hafez. Ramzy tried his hand at international cinema but did not complete the experience. The actor took an extended break from cinema and married three times throughout his life. His first marriage was in 1985 to ‘Attiyah al-Darmally, the couple had two girls and a boy. Later he married artist Nagwa Fouad and then Nicole. He played a part in the 2000 television series “Wagh al-Qammar” (“Face of the Moon”) and is considered among the most important actors in cinema despite the fact that he sometimes played minor roles. Ramzy’s acting is natural and he can be observed in excellent form in “Bannat al-Youm” (“Today’s Girls”), “3 Nisaa” (“Three Women”) and al-Houbb illa al-Abad.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
