 Queen writes of her fairy tale, without the happy ending
Throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, people told Farah Pahlavi she was living a "fairy tale" existence, and it was true: She was the queen of Iran, married to a man (the Shah of Iran) who had first spotted her in Paris, where she'd been an architecture student.
Now in her 60s, Pahlavi is still a lightning rod for both proponents and opponents of the shah's reign.
Instead, Pahlavi spends much of her time with her three children (the couple's youngest child, Leila, died in 2001 of an overdose of sleeping pills and painkillers), her grandchildren and on her role as matriarch of Iran's royal family.

If looking at modern Iranian politics leads to the rehabilitation of the Shah’s place in the history, Farah Pahlavi by no means can be accused of being the only person who has made such an attempt.
