Egyptian actress Nevin Mandour dies at 53 in a domestic fire

Egypt’s artistic community is mourning the loss of actress Nevin Mandour, who passed away at the age of 53 following a domestic fire, according to reports from local media sources.

The news of her death was made public on Wednesday by actor Sherif Idriss, who paid tribute to her memory in a message shared on social media. He described Mandour as a kind and discreet figure, whose passing has deeply affected colleagues and admirers alike. The incident reportedly occurred at her residence in Alexandria, where emergency services were unable to save her.

Nevin Mandour rose to prominence in the early 2000s after making a strong impression in Egyptian cinema. She gained widespread recognition in 2003 for her role in the film Elly Baly Balak, where she starred alongside comedian Mohamed Saad. Her performance played a key role in the film’s success and earned her lasting popularity with audiences.

Following her breakthrough in film, Mandour transitioned to television, appearing in several productions, including the series Ragealek Ya Iskandariya in 2005, which featured actor Khaled El Nabawi. Shortly afterward, she chose to step away from the spotlight, withdrawing from acting and public life for many years.

In recent months, the actress briefly returned to the public eye during a television appearance in which she spoke candidly about her personal journey and the reasons behind her long absence. Her words resonated with viewers and renewed public interest in her career.

Nevin Mandour leaves behind the legacy of a short yet impactful artistic path, marked by early success and a lasting place in the collective memory of Egyptian audiences.
