Ninochka Manoug Kupelian better known by her stage name Lebleba is an Egyptian film actor and entertainer of Armenian origins. Started her life mocking actors and the entrepreneur “Ma’allem Seddeek” discovered her and presented her to “Al-masrah al-kawmy i.e. The National Theater” where she became famous for stand-up comedies. Anwar Wagdy and Hassan al-Seify gave her some small roles in cinema. Abul-So’oud al-Ebiaary gave her the name Lebleba (The eloquent) after seeing the multi-talented child actor, comedian and dancer. She married actor Hassan Youssef, but they were divorced later on. She never remarried. Lebleba played a number of different roles with renowned Egyptian comedian Adel Emaam. The director Aatef al-Tayyeb gave her two noteworthy roles in “Dedd al-hokouma i.e. Anti-Government” and “Layla saakhena i.e. Hot night”, winning many awards. As she grew up, she took on more serious roles like a mother in Chahine’s “Al-aakhar i.e. The other” and a prostitute in “Gannat al-shayaateen i.e. Fallen angels paradise”.
