Many stars write their own biographies, but the late iconic actress Faten Hamama wasn't one of them, her husband Mohamed Abdel Wahab warned.
Abdel Wahab made a point of stressing this fact after an Arab newspaper published the alleged "Diaries of Faten Hamama," which her loyal husband said were fabricated, reported Egypt Independent.
Turns out, Hamama never kept a diary or even thought of writing one, according to Abdel Wahab, adding that the diaries' style of writing didn't even resemble his wife's.
A lawsuit has been filed against the journalist who published the diaries, who is also reportedly planning on publishing a book with the entries, the Egypt Independent wrote.
Abdel Wahab said that the journalist had no right to publish the diaries for two reasons: one, he had no proof that they are Hamama's, and second, he never took permission from her heirs to make them public.
One source told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the entries published by the journalist might have come from press and TV archives of interviews with the late starlet.
Hamama died on January 17, 2015 at the age of 84. She was one of Egypt’s most prominent actresses in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s.
