Mariam Mohamed Fakhr Eddine (Arabic: مريم محمد فخر الدين, 8 September 1933 – 3 November 2014[1]) was an Egyptian film and television actress, and was the second wife of prominent filmmaker Mahmoud Zulfikar (1914 – 1970). She was nicknamed the "Belle of the Screen" (Arabic: حسناء الشاشة).[2] Before pursuing a career in acting, she won the title of Most Beautiful Face in a pageant organised by the French-language magazine Image.
