Crossing Borders With
Award-winning actress, author, business owner and model, Egypt’s own Christine Solomon opens up about diversity in Hollywood, the future of the movie industry and the role of women in films. Starting her career at the tender age of five performing across theatres in Cairo, Christine Solomon has since risen to Hollywood stardom. After moving to Canada with her parents in 1988, the multi-talented actress appeared in a series of box office hits, launched a consultancy firm for aspiring actors, and still continued to showcase her talent in critically acclaimed plays across the country. More recently, she has been dividing her time between Los Angeles and Montreal, where she has been found working on a book about acting careers in Canada when she is not in production. The recipient of the Madbakh Women of Toronto’s Best Actress of Empowerment award, Christine is proving to the world that gender and cultural diversity are no longer Hollywood taboos.
