Retired Kuwaiti artist Raja Mohammed passes away at age 64

Retired Kuwaiti artist Raja Mohammed has passed away at the age of 64. Throughout her career, she contributed to a variety of theatrical and television works that left a lasting impression on audiences in Kuwait and the wider Gulf region.

She began her artistic journey in the late 1970s, making her debut in 1978 with the children’s play *Sinbad the Sailor*. This was followed by roles in several other productions, including *Lanterns of Hope*, *The Magic Carpet*, and the *Fahd Al-Askar Trilogy*.

Raja Mohammed also appeared in numerous television and artistic projects, most notably *Salamtak* (Your Safety), *Hayatuna* (Our Lives), *Tomorrow My Mother Told Me*, *Al-Zarzour*, *Tarzan*, and *Small Dreams*. She also featured in the iconic Kuwaiti series *Khalati Qumasha* (Aunt Qumasha), a landmark production in the history of Gulf drama.

Despite her early start, her career spanned only a few years; the 1984 operetta *Cinderella* marked her final artistic endeavor before she decided to step away from the spotlight and the entertainment industry, choosing instead a quiet life, far removed from fame.
