Shohreh Aghdashloo Fast Facts:

Although she was a well-known performer in her native Iran, she fled the country in 1978 after an acting workshop she was attending was closed by religious fundamentalists.
Studied journalism in England, earning a B.A. in 1983.
Returned to acting in the mid-'80s in a Farsi-language play and met the man who would become her second husband: actor, playwright and fellow Iranian expatriate Houshang Touzie.
With Touzie, she opened Drama Workshop '79, a Los Angeles-based theater company devoted to producing works in Farsi.
A 25-year ban on citing her name in Iranian media was lifted after her Oscar nomination for 2003's House of Sand and Fog.
