Soheir El Morshedy is an Egyptian actress. She was born in 1946 in the city of Tanta, and then moved with her family to Cairo. Her acting talent started showing up during high school, and she then went on to study acting and directing at the High Institute of Theatrical Arts, and started her professional career in the late 1960s, through small roles in films like "El Bostagy" (The Postman), and she rose to prominence in the 1970's, and began to get cast in her most notable major roles in films like "Banat fel Gamaa" (Girls In University), "Awdet Al-Ibn Al-Dal" (The Return of the Prodigal Son). She is also best known for her television work, which includes roles in "Arabesque" and "Layaly Elhelmeyya" (Elhelmeyya Nights).
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.
