Saadia Al-Zaidi, born in Maysan Governorate, Iraq, is a distinguished actress and poet. Her family's involvement in political activities led to imprisonments and relocations. Following the July Revolution in the 1950s, they were released, and Saadia settled in Baghdad after 2003. She later moved to Oman with her husband Ramadan Kataea. In the late 1950s, she worked in the textile industry, eventually expanding her cultural knowledge and starting to write poetry, which debuted on radio. Saadia has had notable roles in films like "The Pendulum" and TV series such as "Al-Nahiba." She made pioneering contributions on Iraqi radio with agriculture-related programs and has been active in theater with plays like "Sharia" and "House of Sorrows."
