CAIRO — Many stars write their own biographies, but the late iconic actress Faten Hamama wasn't one of them, her husband Mohamed Abdel Wahab warned, Albawaba.com reported. Abdel Wahab made a point of stressing this fact after an Arab newspaper published the alleged “Diaries of Faten Hamama,” which her husband said were fabricated. It 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 since he had no proof that they are Hamama's and since he failed to obtain permission from her heirs to make them public. Hamama died on January 17 at the age of 84. She was one of Egypt's most prominent actresses in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. - Agencies
