Biography
Layla Olwy is an Egyptian actress, born to an Egyptian father and a Greek mother. Her full name is Leyla Ahmed E’lwy and her career began when she was still quite young with Abla Fadeela at the Radio broadcast and Mama Samiha on children programming on television. Leyla studied at French schools and graduated in 1991 from the faculty of commerce. She took small parts in films as a child and performed in several titles. Nour el-Shereef noticed her talents on stage. Leyla took part in the television series “Dimoo’ Fawq al-Haqiqa” (“Tears Over the Truth”) in her first television role as a mature actress. Among the stage productions which she has taken part in are “al-Brenseesa” (“The Princess”). The actress was also honored at several festivals including the Love Festival of 2002.
