Recently divorced, this Egyptian screen siren just came back to the silver screen. Her first stage act, however, failed.

Answer: Shereen Seif El Nasr 

The famous blond actress, recently divorced from an Arab millionaire and decided to jump back onto the silver screen. 

A theatrical director ‘bet his life’ that the Shereen's beauty’s comeback would “rock the world.” Therefore, the director decided to give the blonde the lead role in his newest play and spent more than half a million Egyptian pounds in promoting the actress and the film. However, his dreams did not come true. 

The play was a complete flop and was canceled due to a lack of attendance. The director promptly relieved the blonde of her position and replaced her with another famous seductive actress. Surprisingly, in no time, the theater was a full house!
