I saw this actress in, what I thought was a strange movie, The Trouble with Bliss.The star of this movie was the star of the series about a serial killer who is a detective on a police force. I can't remember the show's name right now, but this actress, Sarah Shahi, had a strange and memorable role that held me captive, as brief as it was in the movie. Because of DVR I was able to freeze frame on her face and studied it thinking about a number of technical things, and the aesthetic qualities of her face.
The movie came on again, and I waited for time to pass to catch her role again. I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing again because the main character, who stars in DEXTER, I just remembered, has mastered the droning (my term) style of his characters. I can only take but so much of it because it seems to be one-dimensional, and it isn't. Which fascinates me because his series, DEXTER, is going into its 7th season, and I am a fan of the show!! Anyway, I paid even more attention to the actress, and the co-star, a skinny white woman, Brie Larson, who stunned and frightened me with her portrayal of a sexy, loose cannon of a teenage vixen!
There is something there deeply rooted within actors, male and female, who can plummet to such depths to become other people's insecurities, and connivings These two actresses held the movie up for me to see the main character's role in their dramas. That's something.
I paused the movie and walked up to my office, and looked the actresses up online (such a short cut from the old days) and found out from IMBD, that Sarah Shahi is a former National Football League cheerleader. She is best-known for her role as the Mexican-American DJ "Carmen de la Pica Morales" in the Showtime series, "The L Word" (2004), which she joined in its second season. Sarah did not renew her contract with the show for a fourth season and, consequently, her character was written out.
Sarah Shahi was born Aahoo Jahansouz in Euless, Texas, to an Iranian father and Mexican mother. a great-great-granddaughter of the 19th-century Persian Shah, Fath Ali Shah Qajar, by Begom Khanom (daughter of Hossein Qoli Khan Afshar, niece of Begom Khanom, daughter of Emam Qoli Khan Afshar), through their son, Jahansouz Shah.
What does that mean to an American citizen, of the conservative bent, in the political and cultural climate of these times; the 21st century? Against the backdrop of the upcoming election of 2012 how would this actress, as a woman, fare under the scrutiny of the times? Is it a relevant question? I think so, but for now it isn't because the life she has carved out for herself speaks more directly to the lineage of her people. That is important to understand in the decisions to marry someone, and start a family. In the end summations of our lives, how we love, and make people feel will be the only conversation people will have about your life.
