== Career ==
=== Early career difficulties === At the start of her acting career, Takla played experimental theater roles before making her film debut. Her talent was spotted by producer Waleed al-Husseini during the premiere of Khodor Alaa Eddin's play ''Akh ya Baladna'' in the Picaddilly Theater in the Hamra district of Beirut.{{Sfn|Chamoun|2022}} She was cast in the role of the wife of Palestinian caricaturist Nagi al-Ali in the eponymous 1991 movie, with legendary Egyptian actor Nour El-Sherif.{{Sfn|Chamoun|2022}}{{Sfn|elCinema|2016}} Chamoun landed roles in the 1996 TV series ''Akher Mashhad'' (The last scene), and the controversial 1997 TV series ''Share' el-Kaslik'' (Kaslik Street), later renamed ''Share' al-iyyam'' (Days Street).{{Sfn|Njeim|2020}} Her breakout role was Zalfa the midwife in the Lebanese TV series ''Men Barsoumi'' (From Barsoumi) a 2001 14-episode historical miniseries, set in French-mandate Lebanon.{{Sfn|elCinema|2016}}{{Sfn|Adabashi|2001}} Following her performance in ''Men Barsoumi'', for which she garnered accolades, the actress continued to make regular appearances in popular films and series.{{Sfn|al-Hakim|2007}}{{Sfn|elCinema|2016}}
During the early 2000s, Chamoun took roles in poorly produced Lebanese TV series; she also worked in dubbing studios "to make ends meet", as she expressed in a 2007 interview;{{Sfn|al-Hakim|2007}} she also deplored the state of Lebanese theater.{{Sfn|al-Hakim|2007}} Her planned theatrical collaboration with renowned director Chakib Khoury dubbed ''al-Malja2'' (The Shelter) was interrupted by the 2006 Lebanon-Israel conflict.{{Sfn|al-Hakim|2007}}

== Personal life == Takla claims to have had a heavy surgical anesthesia-induced near-death experience during her university graduation year at the age of 23. She recounted hearing the medical staff calling to her to wake up while she had an out-of-body experience. At the time, Takla was preparing her graduation thesis based on Eugène Ionesco's Exit the King. The incident, and Ionesco's work, deeply marked Takla. She began the introduction to her graduation thesis with the quotation "''Takla Oumi"'' Wake up Takla; the same call she heard under anesthesia.{{Sfn|Chamoun|2022}}
Chamoun is known to have refused to cancel a showing of Shakib Khoury's play ''Mawani' al-hanin'' (Harbors of Nostalgia) after she was informed of her mother's death from complications of surgery in 1999.{{Sfn|Chamoun|2022}}
When ''Men Barsoumi'' aired, her future husband Tony Farjallah was infatuated with Chamoun and captivated by her performance; however, the two only met a few years later at Farjallah's cinematography workshop in Beirut. They got married shortly afterwards in the Greek Catholic Church in Sarba.{{Sfn|Chamoun|2022}}
