Hayat Al-Fahad or El Fehd[2] (Gulf Arabic: حياة الفهد, romanized: Ḥayāt il-Fahad, Template:IPA-afb; born April 18, 1948) is a Kuwaiti actress, broadcaster, writer and producer. [3]
At the opening of the 2010 Oran International Arabic Film Festival, she was celebrated as one of three great Arab artists, along with Chafia Boudraa and Larbi Zekkal; she could not attend in person for reasons of health, but had sent a message to the town of Oran ahead of the festival.[2]
Controversy
An article published in The Economist [25 April 2020] entitled "Covid in the camps" and dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in the Middle East, mentions that Hayat Al-Fahad has publicly called for the deportation of migrant workers of Kuwait to its desert lands.
"Hayat al-Fahad, a Kuwaiti actress, said in a television interview that the country was "fed up" with the foreigners who make up two-thirds of the population and suggested putting them in the desert".[4]
