Googoosh’s Untold Story: Revealing Her Secret Third Marriage

Googoosh’s Surprising Third Marriage: Untold Story of Her Silent Years

Faegheh Atashin (born 5 May 1950), known professionally as Googoosh, is a renowned singer and actress, and one of the most popular and enduring entertainers, with a career spanning over 60 years. She has enjoyed significant popularity since the beginning of her career, ultimately becoming a cultural icon both inside and outside of Iran.

Googoosh is primarily known for her contributions to pop music, but she also starred in a variety of Persian movies from the 1950s to the 1970s. She achieved the pinnacle of her fame and success towards the end of the 1970s. During that decade, Googoosh was widely emulated by women, who copied her clothing (miniskirts) and her short haircut (known as the “Googooshy”).

Following the Revolution in 1979, she remained in Iran until 2000 and did not perform due to the ban on female singers. Younger generations have rediscovered her music via bootleg recordings. After leaving Iran in 2000, she performed 27 concerts in European and North American countries that year.
