Iman at the Internet Movie Database Appearances: In 1992 she appeared as an Egyptian queen with her pharaoh (who was played by Eddie Murphy) in Michael Jackson's then new video for "Remember The Time" for the 1991 album Dangerous.
Iman is known for being one of the first people to challenge and change prevailing notions of beauty from the beginning of her career in the 1970's.
Iman is certainly one of the most beautiful women on Earth, but by conquering such diverse challenges as modeling, acting, raising a family, and fighting for a better world, she has made herself one of the most respected too.

Evidently this was experience enough for Beard who shot Iman in Kenya at once and effectively launched the career of a woman whose spectacular beauty and style was so astounding that the word "super" had to eventually be added to the word "model" to somehow capture her impact.
With beauty, mystery and enigma for fuel, Iman was propelled on her Somalian rocket into New York where she was to crash-land on the cover of every magazine and every legendary designer's runway.
Iman spends the balance of her time today over-seeing the demands of her cosmetic company, which are as varied and numerous as the line itself.

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Israeli officer: I was right to shoot 13-year-old child
The official account claimed that Iman was shot as she walked towards an army post with her schoolbag because soldiers feared she was carrying a bomb.
But the tape recording of the radio conversation between soldiers at the scene reveals that, from the beginning, she was identified as a child and at no point was a bomb spoken about nor was she described as a threat.
The tape also reveals that the soldiers said Iman was headed eastwards, away from the army post and back into the refugee camp, when she was shot.

 AskMen.com - Iman
Aside from her beauty and sexiness, the main reason we love Iman is because she is perhaps the only person or thing in the world that look as good today (if not better) as they did in the '70s.
Iman entered that select group during the late 1970s, when she became one of the most recognizable and popular fashion models in the world.

All this aside, Iman is a refreshingly unpretentious career woman who places family (she is the mother of Zulekha, 23, and 1-year-old Alexandria) and faith before glamour and beauty.
Iman: I was in an industry where I could not find products for my own skin, and I felt that if we were going to do this, then we had to do this right.

Iman al-Hams was a 13-year old refugee schoolgirl who was executed -- after being wounded --by an Israeli platoon commander on the sad sands of Rafah.
Three other children, almost the same age as Iman, were killed while sitting in their classrooms in UN-run schools in Gaza in the past few weeks.
It is hard to guess why Iman al-Hams’ parents called her that name, but it may have been out of belief in their own ability to persevere, to live and develop despite occupation, exile and destitution.
