There was also a feature length fictional film made about Soraya

A turkish actress played her. It was worth watching but it looked like Dynasty. I'm trying to think of what it was celled.....

Career as actress

Granted the style and title Her Imperial Highness Princess Soraya of Iran, the former queen moved to France.

Princess Soraya launched a brief career as a film actress, for which she used only her first name. Initially, it was announced that she would portray Catherine the Great in a movie about the Russian empress by Dino De Laurentiis, but that project fell through.[13] Instead, she starred in the 1965 movie I tre volti (The Three Faces)[14] and became the companion of its Italian director, Franco Indovina (1932–1972).[15] She also appeared as a character named Soraya in the 1965 movie She.[16]

After Indovina's death in a plane crash, she spent the remainder of her life in Europe, succumbing to depression, which she outlined in her 1991 memoir, Le Palais Des Solitudes (The Palace of Loneliness).

Ravanesh shad Soraya!

Most beautiful and elegant Iranian lady. The contrast between women in public then and now could not be greater. Look at Ahmadi's wife or Fatemeh Mousavi!
