During her time in Egypt, Silvana participated in five films, most of which she played supporting roles such as the role of a flirtatious girl or the role of a foreign maid. Her first film, The Path to Happiness, was directed by Kamel El-Hafnawy in 1953, starring Kamal El-Shenawy and Zahra El-Ola. She left Egypt in the early seventies for her home country, Lebanon, where in 1971 she made her last film, which was the Lebanese/Egyptian film “The Lost,” directed by singer Mohamed Salman and starring Rushdi Abaza and Samira Ahmed.
