Kuwait Immortalises Iconic Actor With Commemorative Stamp

The likeness of Kuwaiti's late legendary actor Abdulhussein Abdulredha will now be emblazoned on special postage stamps, the Ministry of State Services announced yesterday.

The stamps are but a token of appreciation for a man who was a household name and whose theatrical odyssey spanned more than half a century, the ministry said in a statement.

The statement added that the special stamp will be available in post offices around the nation soon.

The body of the actor which was flown home from the UK aboard an Amiri special plane was laid to rest yesterday in a massive funeral.

Delegations from neighbouring GCC countries and Arab states attended the ceremony.

Dubai paid homage to the actor by placing a huge portrait of him on its iconic Burj Al Arab skyscraper with an-epitaph-like tribute that read, "Farewell to True Art".

The shockwaves of grief are still sweeping through the nation after Abdulredha passed away due to a health setback on Friday.
