Historical artistic marriage relationship
The passing of Iman Imam brings to mind the deep artistic and personal partnership that united her brother, the legendary actor Adel Imam, and her late husband, Mustafa Metwally . Their relationship was more than just a marriage; it was a successful artistic duo that enriched Egyptian cinema, theater, and television for decades. The late Mustafa Metwally co-starred with Adel Imam in most of his timeless works, such as the plays "El Wad Sayed El Shaghal" and "El Za'eem," and the films "Gezira El Shaytan," "Shams El Zanaty," and "El La'b Ma'a El Kebar." His sudden death in 2000 was a profound shock to Adel Imam, who lost his close friend and brother-in-law.
An artistic legacy spanning generations
The deceased belonged to a family steeped in art. She was not only the sister of one of the most prominent stars in the history of Arab comedy, but also the mother of the young actor Omar Metwally , who has followed in the footsteps of his father and uncle, proving his talent in numerous television and theatrical productions in recent years. She was also the aunt of the distinguished director Rami Imam and the star Mohamed Imam , who continue to carry the torch of the Imam family in cinema and television. This tragic event is a great loss for this close-knit family, which has long brought joy to Arab audiences, and their loved ones pray that God grants them patience and solace in their grief.
