Lucy happy for participating in “Great House”

Egyptian actress Lucy revealed the details of her participation in the TV drama show "The Great House", saying, "When I received the offer with the script written by the author, Ahmed Sobhi attracted me very much, and I felt that I recall in my memory the series that was offered by the late Osama Anwar Okasha, which was of interest to the Egyptian family.”

She added that the character that she presents in this work is quite different from what she has presented.  She added, “Of course, the reason for my acceptance at first is the creative director Mohammed Al-Nukali, whom I enjoy while working with him. He showed me the work and told me that my role would be a surprise to the audience. The reasons made me agree to this work. "

She added that she performs a role of an old woman called Karima who keeps her traditions and habits and wears abaya in a modern fashion. She has customs and traditions that she has preserved and raised her daughters on, and a dignified intervention in the struggle over her inheritance.

She added, “I have received a number of offers to participate in the Egyptian drama, while I still study these offers. I am not frustrated if I lost any opportunity, as the artistic life strongly depends on the destiny.”

She stressed that the artist’s success is related not only the beauty but also the love of people and the good works. I feel the people’s love and this is making me happy. I am lucky as I began my career with the historic generation of the Egyptian cinema. I had cordial relations with all of my colleagues and still keep my friendship with a lot of them.” She stressed that she does not care of politics, while she focuses on her arts and family.

Regarding her decision to keep away from her career, she said that she was not planning to take this step, while her husband asked her to accompany him when he travelled to America. She added that she was intending to travel with him to arrange their life and return to her career, while she had been extremely preoccupied in educating her children.

She denied retirement, while she is ready to participate in any works, saying that she is keen to choose her roles carefully not to undermine her historic career. She added that she is happy for the radio program she presents in the European Program since 1950s and is keen to resume writing her weekly article in Al-Ahram weekly.
