Legendary actress Hayat Al-Fahad has died at the age of 77 after a battle with illness, marking the loss of one of the Gulf’s most prominent figures in television and theatre.
Al-Fahad, whose career spanned more than six decades, was widely regarded as a leading figure in Kuwaiti and Gulf drama, with a body of work that included dozens of productions across television, stage and film.
She began her career in 1962 with the television series “Ayla Bu Jassoum,” and made her stage debut in 1963 in the play “Al-Dahiya” (The Victim). In 1971, she appeared in the film “Bas Ya Bahr,” one of Kuwait’s earliest and most notable cinematic works.
She rose to prominence through collaborations with leading Kuwaiti actors, including Abdulhussain Abdulredha, Saad Al-Faraj and Souad Abdullah, helping shape the country’s modern performing arts scene.
Widely known in the region as the “Lady of the Gulf screen,” Al-Fahad left a lasting legacy that continues to influence generations of artists in Kuwait and across the Gulf.
