Soraya was Half German Half Bakhtiary
by Darius Kadivar on Thu Oct 16, 2008 02:20 AM PDTShe was indeed half German from her mother ( who was herself born in Moscow where her father was a diplomat) and half Iranian on her fathers side. She herself was born in Isfahan as well as her brother.
After her divorce with the shah She even made a movie in the 60's with the Italian film director Antonioni entitled I Tri Volti. One can say that she was a cultural icon like Lady Diana in her times.
Here is the other blog I did on her:
//iranian.com/main/blog/darius-kadivar/pictory-princess-soraya-movie-actress-1964
You can also find a movie made as a European co production on her life which was relatively well done ( albeit a few innacuracies) which keeps being aired here in France every Christmas. Its available in French and German on DVD on amazon.
Her own auto biography is interesting but I have yet to read a good objective biography on her life written by an outsider. It could be interesting especially that it could be a pretext to also write about the 1950's and 1960's which I find a fascinating time in the Arts and also social changes particularly women emancipation.
Soraya

Sorayah life had always fascinated me. She was stunning and very classy woman. I understand she was a German born. Where did her brother got the Iranian name Bijan?.
It was not a rumor
by Darius Kadivar on Tue Oct 14, 2008 09:26 AM PDTYes that's true. They were very much in love but forced to divorce because she was sterile.She passed away in 2002 and is buried in Munich Germany along with her brother Bijan ( who died of a stroke a week after his sister's death) and both parents. She had not decendants or living family member.
