Googoosh - Made of Fire

To generations of Iranians, she is a legend – culturally on par with icons such as Barbra Streisand or Catherine Deneuve. The magnetic singer and actress Googoosh rose to fame during the 1960s and ?70s, but her career ended with the Iranian Revolution, when she was placed under house arrest. Now living in the US, Googoosh staged a comeback in the 1990s, touring to epic international audiences. She continues using her stature to speak out about the current Iranian regime’s most oppressive excesses.
