Career[edit]
When she was four years old, Hussein appeared in Nawader Juha and was involved in radio production Mama Anisa.[4] Her first stage role came with Arab Theater Group's production Nora, directed by Fouad Al-Shatti. Its success led to other roles and she was cast in Sindabad by Mahfouz Abdul Rahman, Arabic adaptations of Alice in Wonderland and Cindrella. She also produced the musical play Laila and the Nile, written by Abdullatif Al-Bannai.[5]
Some of the famous TV series she has starred in include Al Malika (2011) and Khadimat Al Qawm (2012).[6][7]
Personal life[edit]
Hussein married TV host Abdul Aziz Al-Qattan but the couple separated soon after Al-Qattan's return to Kuwait.[8]
