Biography

In 1948, her role in the play Dirty Hands (by Jean-Paul Sartre) was acclaimed and she was encouraged to also look at the cinema.

Her last film, A Little Kiss was released in 2005.

She had never acted in a television series before 1979, though she had directed episodes of the long-running serial Qamar Khanoum's House (1967-1971).

She finished high school at 16 and entered collage to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. She was working as a teacher when she was chosen by the Bachelor Society to act in a play. Her outstanding performance brought her offers to participate in other plays. Since then, she has appeared in many films and collaborated with well-known names such as Jamshid Mashayekhi, Ezzatollah Entezami, Jamileh Sheikhi, Rokneddin Khosravi, Jafar Vaali, and Abbas Javanmard to bring different plays to life on the small or big screen.

Although she performed in the theatre and in cinema in parallel, she was not keen to switch to the silver screen completely in her earlier years.
