From someone who has known Nahal in the early years!! I mean from 1st grade at Institute Mariam (she later went to Razi) - she has always been very intelligent, very personable... and a kid (back then) with a great heart!!!! it is nice to see the success of old friends

Dear DK:

I don't mean to be a downer but, big fat hairy deal! This lady's husband, Jean Claude Carrière, was born in 1931!? He is 77 years old, see the link below. Nahal Tajadod is 47 years old! She was married to someone else much younger than this French grandpa and has a kid from her 1st!? I think she has regressed in life by marrying with old geezer!?

She looks great for being from 1960

 I am amazed. She looks great for being from 1960. She does not look her age. She needs to also write a book on ageless beauty secrets. I would be the first in line to buy it. Very interesting woman. Beauty, cultured and brains.
