Parvin Kheirbakhsh (Persian: پروین خیربخش), known as Forouzan (Persian: فروزان; born August 9, 1937 – died January 24, 2016), was a very famous Iranian actress. She was also a producer and did voice acting for films.
Forouzan started her movie career by lending her voice to characters. In 1964, she acted in a film called Sāhele Entezār. But it was another movie, Ganj-e Qarun, that made her super famous. In this film, she acted alongside Fardin. After Ganj-e Qarun, Forouzan and Fardin became a very popular acting duo. They starred in many successful movies of that time. These films were part of a popular movie style called Persian Films, or Film Farsi, made in Iran before the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
Early Life and Career
Forouzan was born on August 9, 1937, in Bandar-e Anzali, Iran. She began her career by doing voice-overs for movies. Her first movie role was in Sahel-e Entezar.
She acted in many popular Iranian films. She also worked with important directors of the Mowj-e Now movement. These directors included Dariush Mehrjui, who directed Dayere-ye Mina, and Ali Hatami, who directed Baba Shamal. Other famous directors she worked with were Siamak Yasemi, Iraj Ghaderi, Shapur Gharib, and Fereydun Goleh.
Later Life and Legacy
After the 1979 revolution, Forouzan was not allowed to act in movies anymore. She became more private and rarely gave interviews. She passed away on January 24, 2016, in Tehran.
Even though she hadn't acted in a new film since 1978, her popularity remained strong. After her death, many websites and online groups dedicated posts and articles to remember her.
