Assia

Assia Dagher (Arabic: آسيا داغر; 6 March 1908 – 12 January 1986) was a Lebanese-Egyptian actress and film producer. The first time she acted was in 1926 in a film called "Laila", directed by Wadad Orfi. Dagher was the first Lebanese to be on the big screen. She produced over 100 films including "Return My Heart" (1957) and "Saladin the Victorious" (1963) and played the lead role in only 20 of them.

Assia Esther Wevill (née Gutmann; 15 May 1927 – 23 March 1969) was a German-Jewish woman who escaped the Nazis at the beginning of World War II and emigrated to Mandatory Palestine, via Italy, then later England, where she had an affair with the English poet Ted Hughes. While she was a successful advertising copywriter and a talented translator of poetry, she is mainly remembered in the context of her relationship with Sylvia Plath and Hughes.
