Shohreh Aghdashloo is a Los Angeles-based, Iranian actress and self-proclaimed activist.

 A Conversation with Shohreh Aghdashloo
Shohreh Aghdashloo portrays Ben Kingsley's wife, Nadi Behrani, in the film "House of Sand and Fog." She will be new to most American audiences but she has been a major stage and screen star for more than 25 years, beginning in her native Iran, where she started acting at the age of 20.
Shohreh left Iran for England during the 1978 Islamic Revolution, where she earned a BA degree in International Relations.
Shohreh adds that in part because her character's daughter is now married and that Nadi has no friends, she calls no one and no one calls her; therefore, Nadi is drawn to help Kathy (Jennifer Connelly) when she injures her foot and later when she overdoses on pills.

BEVERLY HILLS, California - Iranian Oscar nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo said Monday her nod was a 'miracle' but that she would be bearing the weight of her entire nation when she turns up at this month's show.
But Aghdashloo, nominated for her role opposite Sir Ben Kingsley in the taut drama "House and Sand and Fog," dismissed speculation that she would be wearing any Iranian costume when she attends Hollywood's biggest awards.
But whether she wins the Oscar or not, the actress said her career had already been given a boost by her nomination and that screenplays had been "pouring in" since the nominations were unveiled on January 27.

Born in Tehran, Iran, Shohreh Aghdashloo began her acting career at the age of 20 when she joined a drama workshop where actors could study while getting work experience at the same time.
Aghdashloo had not been planning a return to acting, but a friend convinced her to read a play he'd written about a man accused of being a member of the Shah's elite.
Having appeared in several small budget independent films, she was called in to audition almost three years later and impressed the casting agents and director so much that they couldn't imagine anyone else in the role.

Aghdashloo began her career in her native Iran at age 20 and spent the last twenty-five years honing her craft.
Aghdashloo felt so strongly about Nadi that she thought it unfair if she didn’t get the part if the book were made into a movie.
Though normally reluctant to play terrorists, Aghdashloo was attracted to the complexity of the character, which was exemplified by the contradiction between being a ruthless killer and a loving mother.
