Saeed Tarabeek, famed Egyptian actor, died Sunday morning at the age of 74 after a series of health struggles in the last month.

Tarabeek, who made headlines in August when he married an Egyptian actress 40 years his junior, suffered from a heart attack in October after being cheated out of one million pounds.

Tarabeek became a household name in the Egyptian entertainment industry with several blockbuster films such as "Mafia" (2002), "Aboud ala el Hedoud" (1999), "El Noom fi el Asal" (1996) and "Toyour Elzalam" (1995 ).

His wife, Sarah Tarek, is two months pregnant.
