Iranian pop singer Googoosh acknowledges fans during a three hour concert,
Saturday night, Aug. 19, 2000, in Inglewood, Calif. This was her first
concert in the United States since she broke two decades of silence. A
cultural icon in Iran in the 1960s and 1970s, Googoosh was forced to end
her acting and singing career after the 1979 revolution and lived an isolated
life in a Tehran apartment. The isolation was interrupted when a more moderate
government under President Mohammad Khatami, elected in 1997, allowed her
to travel abroad again.
