Biography


Jendoubi was born in 1972.[1] Originally from Kairouan, she finished her theatrical studies in 1995. For her graduation project, Jendoubi wrote a play alongside another student and played the role of a future bride, which she described as unforgettable. She was quickly noticed by Tunisian directors and appeared in several television soap operas such as Mnamet Aroussia, Ikhwa wa Zaman and Aoudat Al Minyar, the last of which is her best-known work.[2] In 2010, she appeared in The Season of Men.[1]

Jendoubi performed the one-woman-show Madame Kenza in 2010. She discovered the pleasure of being the only person on the stage, and her goal was to hold her audience in suspense, having fun and bringing out whatever she felt.[2]

In 2015, she was appointed alongside Myriam Belkadhi and Emna Louzyr Ayari as a representative of Tunisia for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.[3]

In 2017, Jendoubi starred as Bahja in Salma Baccar's film El Jaida.[4] She was named an officer of the Order of the Republic in 2019.[5] In December 2019, Jendoubi claimed that she was not paid by Attessia TV for her performances in the shows Le Président, Flashback and Ali Chouerreb.[6]

She is married and the mother of two children. Her husband Mehdi is in charge of sound and light during her shows. When the Arab Spring began in Tunisia, Jendoubi was initially supportive but noticed darkness appearing. In response to the violent religious extremism that developed, she created a comedy show as a way of combatting it in post-revolution Tunisia.[7]
