Biography[]

El-Hakim attended Ain Shams University and earned a degree in English. She subsequently worked in public relations at a hotel.[1] El-Hakim also modelled and worked as radio announcer. She was spotted by film producer Riad El-Erian, who persuaded her to embark on an acting career.[2] El-Hakim made her acting debut in 1979, in The Killer Who Killed No One directed by Ahmed Yassin. The same year, she starred in the TV show Abnaie Al Aezzaa Shokran. El-Hakim received an award from the Arab International Radio and Television Association for her part in the show, and got a Papyrus Award for acting during a competition held by the Ministry of Culture.[1] In 1981, she starred as an upper-class college student in I'm Not Lying But I'm Beautifying, which became her best known role.[2]

El-Hakim was married in 1987. She began taking religious seminars in the 1990s. In 2001, El-Hakim starred in the TV series Escaping from Love as Siham, a woman who earns a Ph.D but is socially isolated.[2] In 2002, El-Hakim refrained from taking any acting jobs while her children were at school. After the school year ended, she took them on a vacation to Syria and Lebanon. In 2003, El-Hakim resumed her acting career by playing Jaclyn Khouri in the TV series Kharaz Mulawan. It was directed by Ahmed Khader in Lebanon and is about the Arab-Israeli conflict after the 1947 UN resolution splitting in two states.[3]

In 2012, El-Hakim called for the cancellation of the Egyptian Shura Council. She called it ineffective and cited its costs of millions of pounds.[4] El-Hakim retired from artistic life in 2013, after receiving tributes during the seventh edition of the Salé International Women's Film Festival.[5]
