Hind Rustum

I was thinking: the late Egyptian actress, Hind Rustum's key ingredient and secret is simple.  She acted in the 1950s in a away that actresses could not dare act in movies until the 1970s (in West and East, that is freely.  She was free in how she acted.  You watch her in old movies and realize that she was more daring (as an actress) than all her contemporaries.

PS I noticed that the New York Times did not provide an obituary about her.  Not surprising.  The New York Times would publish a half page obituary if a potato slicer died in Israel.
