Before camping the wife of Logan Roy in the HBO series, the actress and director studied photography, then traveled the world to multiply artistic experiences. It was finally in Paris, where she lives, that we met her.
“Sorry, I’m interrupting you…. It is you who play in Gaza my love ? You are wonderful there, I loved it! “ Hiam Abbass can walk in the streets of Paris wearing a down jacket flocked with the title Succession, the American phenomenon series in which she has been playing for several years (OCS subscribers can currently follow the third season), it is not to unravel the mysteries of Marcia, the enigmatic wife of the chieftain Logan Roy, that we approach him on the terrace of the cafes. But rather to evoke the role of a modest Gazan seamstress, which two young Palestinian filmmakers, the Nasser brothers, wrote for her – the film is still showing in a few cinemas.
The anecdote tells Hiam Abbass well, his way of thwarting plans, of never being where one expects him. It started in childhood. Her parents, teachers in Galilee, dreamed of her as a doctor, lawyer or teacher; after the baccalaureate, she decided to integrate a photo school in Haifa. “I didn’t know anything about it. Even today, I cannot say why I chose this discipline. If not that I probably had the intuition that this artistic expression would lead me to another. It was above all for me to find an escape, to invent a life far from everything that one had imagined for a young woman like me. “
