Shohreh Aghdashloo Biography

From the platform she captivates listeners with anecdotes from her life experience as a woman and as an artist, all imbued with her distinctive mixture of elegance, passion and humor. Shohreh's twin goals of musical accomplishment and social involvement have been intimately linked since the beginning of her career. One of the leading performers in Iran despite several of her films being blacklisted, she escaped her own country for London following the 1979 Revolution. Her passion in global politics prompted her to obtain a Bachelor of International Relations degree while continuing to advance her excellent acting career. Shohreh, a well-known character in the Iranian cinema and theater sectors, made her U.S. film debut in 1989 and continued to appear in American TV shows and films for the following 14 years, frequently to great acclaim. Her extraordinary skill and heroic narrative, however, remained unknown to the general public until her dramatic performance in The House of Sand and Fog (with Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly), which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Shohreh is thrilled to have an even bigger platform from which to share her concerns for human rights and women's empowerment now that she is in high demand as both an actor and a speaker. She draws on a career spent actively involved in both international cinema and political activity.
