Piruz Sarkis Artin Galfayan (Egyptian Arabic: پيروز سركيس ارتين جالفايان, 15 March 1943 – 30 January 2016), known in Egypt as Feyrouz or Fayruz (فيروز), was an Egyptian film child actress.[1]
Piruz was born in Cairo on 15 March 1943. Her sister Nelli also entered the entertainment industry. Her birth name, Piruz, is an Armenian name. 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 (بدر الدين جمجوم). The couple had two children together, Iman and Ayman.[2]
