Kuwait immortalizes iconic actor's memory with commemorative stamps

KUWAIT, Aug 16 (KUNA) -- The likeness of Kuwait's late legendary actor Abdulhussein Abdulredha will now be emblazoned on special postage stamps, the ministry of state services announced Wednesday.
The stamps are but a token of appreciation for a man who was a household name and whose theatrical odyssey spanned for more than half a century, the ministry said in a statement.
The statement added that the special stamps will be available in post offices nationwide soon. The shockwaves of grief are still sweeping through Kuwait after Abdulredha passed away due to a health setback on Friday. (end) skm.nam
