Letters April 2005
Blow by blowIn response to Azam Nemati's "Aghdashloo has it all" Dear Azam Nemati may I respond to your small article by paragraph? You wrote: First of all, I have observed Shohreh as a artist in Iran trying to make a name and later on in the U.S. (she is in the same age group as I am). Then two years ago I met her at a very small gathering where Simin Behabahani, Arian Frashad and a few other notables were present. She was the only person who was genuinely warm and interested in those she was introduced to. When she was told by the host who I was her beautiful face lit up and she said; "She is so beautiful and young!" she is in the same age group of you but then again calls you YOUNG and beautiful. and when her face lit up we could expect a strking beauty not what i saw in your posted emage here baby. and isn't it the main reason you like her so much. because simin behbahani and other dignitories did not notice you and this loser saw you and praised you??????? Okay, I know what you are thinking but you're wrong! The point I am trying to make is the fact that she comes across as very confident (not to mention that she is very pretty in person) and takes interest in other women and people who are doing something worthwhile for their communities. wow she is soooooooooooo pretty behind tons of cosmetics and after several plastic surgeries in a period of 35 years. it is so nice to die of hunger for quarter of a century but at the same time paying for various nose jobs as well as face lifts and jaw job and arsenic cheeks and false boobs. not to mention the fact that you have the same NATURAL beauty too. I visited a mean-spirited writer at her little place in the San Francisco Bay Area two years earlier. She was among five people present and I was the only outsider. I was the guest of a person who was this writer's editor. She did not remember me even when I mentioned the gathering at her loft. Considering that I was the only woman (among the other five) who discussed literary styles and disagreed with her on a few points, she should have remembered me. She was brash to other people in this event as well (she is not physically attractive and sounds like a man). baby whoever does not give a damn about us is not supposed to be mean. she did not remember you simply because you were not and are not spectacular. I saw Aghdashloo when House of Sand and Fog was shown in our area and I was proud to have sold most of the VIP tickets. I was disappointed at her playing the role of an uneducated, weak and helpless housewife, but I knew she is trying to break into Hollywood and she has to start somewhere. tell me how many Phds does your mom or other women of your dynasty have? so you should have been disappointed all your life and what do you want to prove with this paragraph. you want to say that you are educated?????????????????so what? And I was roaring in laughter when I read that she is jealous of Googoosh! For God's sake, a handful of miserable, homely women said the same thing (and worse) to me when I published "Iranian diva" just because I do not worship Googoosh. if someone is not jealous of somebody why should she belittle herself to backbite her all the time? although googoosh never replies to her ugly words ever. What all these irrational people fail to understand is the fact that neither one of us dislikes Googoosh as a person. I think she is beautiful (even though that shity blonde hair makes her look like she has an inferiority complex) and a beautiful voice. thank you now all her fans can be confident it is understood. we have been waiting all these years for you to come up and tell us how beautiful she is and her voice is nice. but tell me did you get your degree in psychology to know that blonde hair is because of inferiority complex? at least half of iranian women dye their hair blonde or highlight it? we they have complexes according to your philiosophical remarks? and baby cant you just speak like a lady and ignore using that word SH*** in one of your writings? all of us know how much interested you are in that matter. No argument there. However, what Aghdashloo means (I have not seen the statements) is that Googoosh really has never shown any courage and even went so far as to praise Khomeini when she sang "Agha Khoobeh" (how's that for a memory!). well well well . you havent seen that program and by some supernatural telepathy you could tell what aghdashloo meant in that program. so nice. and about your memory i have to remind you that the song was recorded a few years before the revolution dear professor and was not in praise of anybody. Aghdashloo is an Academy award nominee as well as a nominee for other prestigious awards. She is beautiful, educated and you should all be proud of her. Simply put, there is no reason for her to be jealous of Googoosh (or any other woman) because she has it all. Also, let's be fair: acting is her livelihood and if the role is interesting and not demeaning why shouldn't she take it? there is not reason except the fact that she is a mean woman in general and has no control over her ugly behavior. Grow up and realize that people who want to call you "terrorist" do not care whether someone plays the mother of one on TV. Most people have enough brains to know that she is an actress. i have one question and please tell me your reply honestly. how many iranian women (whose terrorizing ideas are based on islam) do you know? and if there is someone like that isn't she supposed to wear hejab? and why this role? why does she have to make a bad picture of iranain women in her films? some woman who brings tea and peel potato in "House of Sand and Fog" first and now a cold blooded bomber who poisons a teenage girl. you have asked all her critics to educate ourselves. thanks but the same. cuz as it appears the kind of schooling you suggest did not broaden your mind and was not effective at all.
