A fact from Takla Chamoun appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 April 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Lebanese actress Takla Chamoun stoically refused to cancel a play showing after being informed that her mother had died?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
JA: Question number 19; Let's see the pic together. Takla Chamoun, you had a lot of triumphs in your life but also a lot of tragedies, among which is the death of your mother who passed away, and you were informed of her death while you were on stage. And you continued the play. How difficult was this experience for you, how did you receive this news?
TC: I miss her (emotional - sighs). Yes, it was very difficult because... it was unexpected, because it was a mistake.
JA: How did your mother die?
TC: She had surgery and the doctors said it wasn't critical; she died during surgery.
JA: Were you acting?
TC: Yes, I was presenting Shakib Khoury's play called Mawani' al-hobb, Shakib called me and said: "Takla let's cancel tonight's showing". I refused; saying that the people who paid should not bear this consequence. And I went on stage, and I remember there was a passage in the play where I discuss my mother. My friend Renée Ghosh was also with me, I salute her, she stood by me all the time.
She said Takla this was one of your best stage performances ever. This is what we actors do, one cannot say I'm ill, I can't go to the shooting, or I am not feeling well, and I'd rather stay home, cancel the showing. One should always bear adversities and difficulties and say I am ready, let's go.
Interesting career on fine sources, foreign sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Why no image? - In the hook, I'd prefer "that her mother had died". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
