Egyptian actress Maali Zayed has finished writing the script for a movie entitled Fustan Azraq (Blue Dress), as her debut in Scriptwriting. 

The film tells the story of a middle-aged woman who suffers loneliness.  

As soon as she finishes filming the starring role in the TV series Quloub Taeha (Lost Heats), Zayed will start looking for good director and producer to shoot her Blue Dress. 

The actress started her career in a string of supporting roles in movies like Wa Daa’ Al Omr Ya Waladi and in the TV series Eilet Al Doughri. She began to map out her own unique territory in film. Zayed had remarkable roles in TV series and on the big screen, like Bein Al Quassrein and Qasr Al Shawq, written by Naguib Mahfouz.  

Her career choices have provided her with success beyond the craze her sitcom has generated. She is of rare Egyptian beauty, with her warm brown eyes, lustrous dark hair, and olive skin complexion.  

Zayed graduated from the faculty of fine arts, painting department, then applied to the faculty of theater arts, but she was not able to continue as she began her acting career.  

Although she stopped painting, she still has her very special dream of holding her own exhibition. She works on preparing her paintings during the few months off she can grab in between her acting engagements.
