Today, Google decided to honor legendary Egyptian actor, the late Omar Sharif, in celebration of what would have been his 86th birthday. In 1996, during the Egyptian Cinema centennial, this film was selected one of the best 150 Egyptian film productions. However, what makes Omar Sharif a true acting legend is that he also was able to make his way through Hollywood. While many actors, such as Ahmed Ramzy tried to make their Hollywood debuts, it is safe to say Sharif was the most successful Egyptian Hollywood actor of all time. This is not the first time an Egyptian icon made its way on the Google engine, legendary Egyptian poet Farouk Shousha was chosen by Google to be honored with a Google doodle in January 2018.
