...seen assassins shoot down his grandfather, King Abdullah, before Jerusalem's Mosque of the Rock; legend has it that the boy stood erect and defiant as the King's bodyguard fell to the ground in fright. As a lad of 16, he had seen his mad father, Crown Prince Talal, removed from the throne. At 18, slight, down-mustached Hussein became King of the impoverished desert kingdom of Jordan.

For some reason I had never seen her act before, and it is a pleasure to report that all the acclaim and awards she has received are well deserved indeed...
