Perouz Artin Kalfayan ( Arabic: بيروز آرتين كالفيان, 15 March 1943 – 30 January 2016), better known as Feyrouz or Fayrouz, was an Egyptian film child actress. [1]
Kalfayan was born in Cairo, Egypt, on 15 March 1943. Her sister, Nelly Kalfaian, also entered the entertainment industry. Her birth name, Perouz, was an Armenian name, likely a form of Feyrouz. She began her acting career very young, making her debut at the age of 7 in the 1950 film Yasmine. Egyptian director Anwar Wagdi was helpful to her in her career. She ultimately retired from acting at 15, in 1959, to wed comedian Badreddine Gamgoum ( Arabic: بدر الدين جمجوم). The couple had two children together, Iman and Ayman. [2]
