A French auction site announced it’s selling some of the late star Omar Sharif’s memorabilia, which raised question marks about the ownership of these pieces, and how did the site acquire them.
“The late star didn’t have an apartment or house outside Egypt where he could leave his memorabilia. He used to stay in hotels, carrying with him a black suit and some shirts. He always told me, (I have nothing that can be sold. I live in hotels, and I have one suit)”, Egyptian archeologist, Dr. Zahi Hawas, who was a close friend with the late star, told Asharq Al-Awsat.
