Her father, Nabil Salameh was an activist with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Initially he was associated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, and later he co-founded the more extreme Black September organization . During the 1982 Israeli intervention in Lebanon he went missing, with the presumption by family and friends he was captured by Israeli Defense Forces. He has remained missing since this event, which occurred when Nadine was three years old.
The war caused her to go to Syria, with her mother and sisters. In Damascus, she studied in the Department of Acting of the Higher Academy of Theatrical Arts. She was mentored by some of Syria’s best known actors, including Nayla al-Atrash, and Jihad Sa’d.
