Googoosh also acted in two other movies: Mard-e keraye-i (مرد کرایهای) and Hajji Firuz (حاجی فیروز), but the production of each of these films was suspended during the final stages for unknown reasons.
Known for her flamboyant outfits, and fashion sense, Googoosh wowed her pop culture hungry fans in Iran and abroad with her trademark hairdos and hip-elegant style. Hassan Shamaizadeh)
She began acting in films at the age of 7.
In the 1970s, Googoosh became one of the most popular singers and actresses in Iran. Her parents, Sabir and Nasrin Ateshin, were Iranian Azerbaijanis who had returned to Iran from Soviet Azerbaijan shortly before her birth.
In April 2011, she debuted her latest project. She kept herself occupied at home, taking care of her house and reading. In April 2011, she held a concert at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, as well as a record breaking performance at the same venue on 27 October 2012, as a part of her worldwide Ejaz Tour.[40] Also on 26 March 2013 she performed at London's Royal Albert Hall for the first time.[41]
In 2012, Googoosh released her 6th studio album since her comeback, titled Ejaz.
Googoosh was a voice and symbol for many and at that time this much power for an individual (specially a woman) was forbidden. Her concert in Dubai was considered a homecoming for her, and out of the more than 20,000 members of the audience, seventy percent of them were Iranians who had crossed the Persian Gulf to hear her.[32][33] The two Dubai concerts held special importance: it was the tour finale, and Googoosh was rumored to be planning to return to Iran.
