The distinguished Egyptian artist, Hassan Hosni, died at half past one in the morning, Saturday, at Dar Al Fouad Hospital in the capital, Cairo, after a sudden heart attack, after which the hospital was admitted Thursday evening at the age of 89 years, in which he participated in hundreds of various works. He also always occupied the role of father and brother, which placed him in his great position in his audience.
His most recent work was the series "Sultana Al Moez" in Ramadan 2020, where he played the role of Hosni's uncle, and also participated in the last Eid al-Adha movie season, with the movie "Fantasy Mata", in the role of Khalil Morsi Al-Rajabi.
His life
In the Citadel of Cairo, on October 15, 1931, the esteemed artist Hassan Hosni was born to a father of a contractor. He started his passion for art since he was in elementary school. He performed many roles while he was studying, and he received a Tawjihi certificate in 1956, married to Mrs. Magda El Hamida. His daughter Rasha died in 2013 after suffering from cancer, which caused him a psychological crisis and he refused many offers at the time.
Stage
During his career, Hassan Hosni, who started his plays over a period of more than 50 years, presented nearly 500 works that enriched Egyptian and Arab art, when he became a member of a military theater company, where he performed plays for soldiers, officers and their families in the month of Ramadan, and he continued with them Until the military theater was dissolved, it would begin to appear in real public view.
Then he moved to Al-Hakim Theater, which is considered his first steps, and presented him with many plays, including "Orabi" play with director Nabil Al-Alfy, and "Al-Marakeb Al-Todi" play with director Nour Al-Demerdash, and others.
The star Hassan Hosni participated in the series "My dear sons, thank you" with the late artist Abdel Moneim Madbouly, through the personality of the corrupt corrupt employee, which is the role through which the fans knew him.
Television and cinema
And at the beginning of the eighties, Hosni moved away from the theater for about eight years, and despite the beginning of the deceased with the theater and the fame of his plays, he attributes the greatest credit to television. He said, "Despite my love for the theater, it was not the cause of my popularity. People did not know that there was an actor named Hassan Hosni except After my participation in the series "My dear sons, thank you," then I entered the homes of the Egyptians and achieved the fame that I dreamed of, which drew my attention to the importance of television work and its impact on the artist's achievement of proliferation.
Comedy movies icon
Hassan Hosni started a small role in "Karnak" with director Ali Badrakhan in 1975, then "Bus Driver", directed by Atef Al-Tayyib in 1982, which was a milestone in his career and art.
Hassan Hosni was nicknamed "the movie, video and theater straw" to surpass his acting capabilities. He easily played the roles as if he were his life, and he was called the "saw" because of his many contributions to artistic works.
He participated in many films alongside Souad Hosni, including "Amira My Love I" 1974 and "Karnak" 1975, and his most important works are "Bus drivers", "Hazmni Ya", "Raafat Al-Hajan", and "Gate of Halawani", And "the usurpers," "the Egyptian citizen," "the murderer," "Mr. K," "" the thief of joy, "" Nasser 56 ″, "and" Lamada. "
It was the beginning of Hosni in the roles of evil, which means that he will not get the championship or a prominent role, as he is the evil character in the work that serves in favor of highlighting the good hero of course and urging sympathy for him, and it was possible that Hosni remains the dramatic character that the audience will soon forget. Immediately after the end of the work, but he took another turn in his works, especially with the beginning of the second millennium and the emergence of new names for young faces Hosni was the supporter of in most of her cinematic works, such as Mohamed Heneidy, Ahmed El-Saqa and Ahmed Helmy
Hosni’s appearance in these roles was not to fill a void that could be done by any other actor, but his roles became signs in every cinematic work in which he participated, and more importantly, he became an amulet of fortune for young stars, so that his artistic space no one can occupy.
