We regret to inform you that Maali Zayed has passed away. The highly esteemed Egyptian actress took her final breath on Monday afternoon at the age of 61 after a brief battle with lung cancer. The diagnosis had just recently been made, and some family members were still in denial of her condition.
The burial ceremony will take place Tuesday, and the actress's family are organizing the location where they will be accepting condolences.
Middle East news portal Elaph tells us that Maali's death was sudden and unexpected as doctors had only recently discovered the cancer that was caused by excessive smoking.
Maali certainly left her mark in Egyptian cinema by starring in a slew of films throughout her career. Her last television drama was "Mawjah Harah" (Heat Wave) two years ago.
