"Cinema in our days was made with love, passion, and true friendship. We were living our youth on screen."

Archival Overview

Handsome and charismatic Egyptian film star of Egyptian cinema's 1950s and 1960s Golden Age, celebrated for portraying carefree, charming playboys alongside close friends Omar Sharif, Faten Hamama, and Soad Hosny.

Biographical Record

Born Ramzi Mahmud Bayhum in Alexandria to an Egyptian doctor father and Scottish mother, he studied medicine and commerce before being discovered in a Cairo café by director Helmy Halim, making his sensational debut in 'Our Beautiful Days' (Ayyamna al-Hilwa, 1955) alongside Omar Sharif and Abdel Halim Hafez.

Ramzy became the quintessential charming rogue and heartthrob of Arab cinema, known for his open-collar shirts, natural comedic timing, and magnetic smile. Over a career spanning more than one hundred films, his classics included 'Dark Waters' (Sira' fi al-Mina, 1956), 'There Is a Man in Our House' (1961), and 'The Night of Counting the Years' (1969).
