Family and Childhood
Before going to Lebanon, her family was originally from Acre, Palestine.
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.

“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”

“If family violence teaches children that might makes right at home, how will we hope to cure the futile impulse to solve worldly conflicts with force?”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
