Trivia by woollahra147: "Ms Wassef was known in Alexandria, Egypt, as Lolotte Hindi and lived in Tharwat neighbourhood in Alexandria. She had a daughter nicknamed Micha who lived in Buffalo, New York and always used to talk about the snow storms in December. Her husband Michel Hindi, nicknamed Mickey was also quite a character. I last saw both of them in the late seventies."
Update, 16 Feb 2021: Charlotte Wissa Wassef's daughter Michele Hindi-Alexander was named Michèle Charlotte (both her parents' names) and was nicknamed Micha. Thanks to Mrs Alexander for providing the accurate information.
