Nafeessa Abdul Hameed Hawwaas (1935 – 2010) was born in al-Sayyeda Zainab - Cairo.

However, actor and producer Zaky Tolaymaat soon persuaded her to join the drama department, and so she did. Upon joining the Modern Egyptian Theatre, Abdul Hamid’s first role was in the play “Al-so’louk i.e. Tramp”. She was well recognized by the producer Zarpanely, who gave her the first silver screen debut in the film “Shamm al-nesseem i.e. Easter (1952),” after which she played a lead role in Salaah Abu-Seif’s “Rayya and Sekeena.” Berlanty married Field-Marshal Abdul Hakeem ‘Aamer and gave birth to ‘Amr (1967).
