Career

She made her cinema debut in Ismail Yassin's comedy Hired Husband (زوج بالإيجار) in 1961. After a prolific career in the 1960s, she came under spotlight with "transgressive" roles in early 1970s, such as her role in Salah Zulfikar's psychological drama The Other Man (الرجل الآخر), and Malatily Bathhouse (حمام الملاطيلي) by Salah Abu Seif, both films released in 1973.

After marriage to fellow actor Hassan Youssef in 1972, the couple started to work in cooperation until al-Baroudi decided after Umrah in 1982 to quit cinema and wear the hijab.شمس البارودى At that time Youssef was still filming Two on the Road (اثنين على الطريق) and after al-Baroudi's unexpected retirement, the film could only be completed and released by 1984.اثنين على الطريق

Lisa Anderson used al-Baroudi as an example of an increase in social conservatism in Egyptian society.
