Youssra (Arabic:يسرا) is an Egyptian actress and singer. She was born Sevine Nassim on March 10, 1955 in Cairo, Egypt.
She first appeared in the 1980 film Athkiya laken aghbiya (1980. English: Smartest yet Stupidest). Increasingly popular with audiences in Egypt and across the Arab world, she went on to co-star with leading actor Adel Emam in several films.
She has made a number of the serial television dramas popular during Ramadan, including 2005's Ahlam 'Adiya (Ordinary Dreams). She portrayed an enterprising con woman in what the English version of Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram called "a major departure from the star's usual Ramadan screen persona, which has consistently verged on the romantic and the demure."[1]
In 2006, she took a supporting role in The Yacoubian Building, a star-laden adaptation of the novel of the same name. The film is reported to have had the highest budget of any Egyptian production to date. Playing an entertainer working in a restaurant, Youssra, according to Variety, "effortlessly stirs old emotional waters when she sings 'La Vie en Rose.'" [2]
Youssra released her first vocal album in 2002.
