Princess Soraya

Soraya Esfandiary, second wife of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, played in one film: an Italian film cut in three parts directed by Michelangelo Antonioni called I tre volti (1965) ("Three Faces of a Woman"). This was shot a few years after Soraya (who couldn't have children) and the Shah had divorced. Despite a promising debut, she did not pursue an acting career. She wrote her memoirs published in French under the title "Le Palais des solitudes" in the 90's available on which was a reedition of her first biography and a recent novel "Princesse d'argile". Ever since her divorce, Soraya has essentially mingled in the circles of the European Gotha.
