Stephanie Saliba was born in Miziara, in the north of Lebanon, to Adolphe Saliba and Yola Makari and has three sisters.
She realized from a young age and it was obvious to anyone who knew Stephanie, that she enjoyed being in the limelight.
She attended USJ University at Rue Huvelin Beirut where she graduated with a degree in “Master en sciences de l’assurance”. But she began a career in a different field and made her screen debut on MTV as a host.
She was competent and it seemed she had found her niche in life until the film producers came calling because she loved the camera, and it loved her just as much. Stephanie worked diligently and challenged herself by developing her acting talents through intensive acting courses. She gained immediate prominence with her first role in 2016 in the series called “Metel el Amar” produced by Marwa Group, directed by Cesar El Hajj Khalil and screened on MTV and it was a turning point in her career. Her role as a poor innocent young girl touched people’s hearts, propelled her to fame and opened doors for other roles. It also turned her from a Fashion Cover to a Trend Setter as she succeeded the transition from her role as Amar the humble girl to that of Zalfa the aristocratic lady not only through her acting but also through her physical appearance and the particular style she adopted for each character.
