She received a special honor at the 1998 Alexandria film festival and retired from cinema in 1981. Over the course of her career, Sabah recorded over 3,000 songs and appeared in 98 movies. There is a famous quote in which Sabah said, 'Whoever hasn't been married to Rushdy Abaza, hasn't been married.' (Her words are always repeated with a broad wink.) One of them, Egyptian actor Rushdie Abaza, married her in 1977 while still married to Samia Gamal! It seems he failed to inform Sabah that he had not yet completed his divorce from Samia, and the marriage only lasted three days. Her career in cinema led her to move to Egypt. Her first movie, El-Qalb Luh Wahed, was released in 1945 and made her a star. Sabah recorded her first song in 1940, at age 13. Sabah's first marriage was mostly to escape this home life. Tragically, her father was abusive, and her brother murdered her mother because he believed she was having an affair.
