Summary:  The successful actress shares her extraordinary personal journey, detailing her childhood in the Shah's Iran, her escape to Europe after the 1979 revolution, and her arrival in Hollywood. "Shohreh Aghdashloo won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress for HBO's House of Saddam and was the first Iranian actress to be nominated for an Academy Award, for her role in House of Sand and Fog. She shares her remarkable personal journey--from a childhood in the Shah’s Iran to the red carpets of Hollywood in a dazzling memoir. While growing up in Teheran, stardom was a distant dream, especially since her parents had more practical plans for their daughter. When revolution swept Iran in 1978, the Ayatollah Khomeini's religious regime brought stifling restrictions on women and art. Shohreh Aghdashloo seized the moment and boldly left her husband for Europe and eventually, America, a vastly different culture. She writes poignantly about her struggles as an outsider in a new culture, as a woman, a Muslim, and a Persian, adapting to a new land and a new language, and sharing behind-the-scenes stories about what it's really like to be an actress in Hollywood. Born and raised in Tehran, Shohreh Aghdashloo now lives in Los Angeles"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies.
