Marjane Satrapi
by nice (not verified) on Sat Feb 23, 2008 11:18 AM CSTLast night, this incredible lady was also chosen as a "Person of the Week" in ABC Evening News. You should see her interview to witness how mind-blowing she is.
Marjane Satrapi is FANTASTIC cartoonist, writer, and movie director. Very PROUD of her and looking forward to see her at Oscar night.
