Her name may not be known to many of the current generation, but her image and roles are preserved for all fans of the fifties cinema.
Lola was born on October 27, 1923, and her real name is Lola Amin Sedky, and she is the daughter of the great writer and playwright, Amin Sedky.
Lola was born to an Italian mother who left her and her sister and immigrated to Italy. When Lola finished her studies at the “French School in Cairo,” her father refused her so strongly that she entered the world of art, to the extent that he locked her in the house and prevented her from leaving, but her sister Safia introduced her to Registrar Qasim Wagdy, who presented her to a nightclub and there she began singing in French.
The actress, Lola Sedky, participated in a number of advertisements as a model, before her fame and her entry into the world of art. Her entry to the cinema came at the hands of director Ahmed Badrakhan in the movie “The Life of Darkness”, after which she set out to present 49 films, from the classics of Egyptian cinema, and she participated in a number of important cinematic films, most notably “Professor Fatima, “Haram to You,” “My Wife’s Groom,” “Abu Halmous,” “I Love You,” “Afrita Hanim,” “House No. 13,” “The Tiger,” “Shaherazade,” and others.
The late woman married 9 people because the fourth husband divorced her 3 times, so she married the fifth as an analyst, and after that she did not return to the fourth, but married a French official, and the nationalities of her husbands differed from the Egyptian to the French to the Armenian.
Finally, she traveled to Italy, the birthplace of her mother, accompanied by her Armenian husband, and remained there since 1964, until her death on May 8, 2001, at the age of 77, and was buried in the Italian capital (Rome).
