in a family's plot of land on the outskirts of Cairo. She had no children and was survived by her last husband, writer Maher Awad, whom she married in 1987. Legacy In 2013, Lebanese filmmaker Rania Stephan used snippets from Hosny's films to re-tell Hosny's story and the history of Egyptian cinema in The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosny. It was featured in Berlin's Art Week. The Three Disappearances is an important archive, which while following the chronology of Soad Hosny's career, simultaneously documents the costumes, sets and styles used from the 1950s to the 1990s, a period that marked the peak and decline of Egyptian cinema. One of Hosny's songs, "I'm going down to the Square" became a popular "anthem" during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. On 26 January 2022, Google Doodle celebrated Soad Hosny’s 79th birthday. Filmography She appeared in more than 80 films. See also Top 100 Egyptian films. List of Egyptian films of the 1960s. List of Egyptian films of the 1970s.
