Popular Lebanese singer and actress Nour al-Houda, recorded more than 100 songs during a career that spanned more than 60 years. Born Alexandra Nicholas Badran in 1924, she changed her name to Nour al-Houda (light of guidance) at the behest of Youssef Wehbi, the dean of Arab theatre, after he invited her to play opposite him in his film Jawhara (The Jewel). In that movie, as in more than 30 movies that followed, Nour al-Houda gained attention for refusing to kiss or wear revealing clothes on screen
