Ola Ghanem was born in Cairo. Her father worked as an architect while her mother was an interior designer. Ola graduated from the Photography division at the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1994 but elected not to continue her studies at the Institute of Theatrical Arts. She came to the public’s attention through her involvement in Mohamed Fouad’s song “Hansaak” (“I will Forget You”). Ola has also appeared on TV commercials. The television productions in which Ola has assumed roles include “Al Qalb Yakhtea Ahyanan” (“The Heart is Sometimes Wrong”), “Zizinia”, “Ahlam Wardieh” (“Rosy Dreams”), “Jissr al Khatar” (“A Bridge to Danger”), “E’qal ya Majnoun” (“Wise Up”). Ola realized fame after taking part in an exceptional television production that was titled “Amakin fee Al Qalb” (“Places in the Heart”). Aside from her television appearances Ola has also acted in a play titled “Al Tayyib wa Al Shereer” (“Good and Evil”). She recently starred in "El Brinseesa" (The Princess).
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.
