But the chances of Bakhtiar's returning to Iran, much less returning to power, seemed very slim. His following is almost entirely among...
...middle-class kid, but I'll never be one. Maybe when I'm 95 and married." She will be 18 this month, but it is not just her 4-ft. 10-in. height that makes her seem younger; her emotions have only just begun to unfold. She has not seen any big money yet. She gives a child's answers to an interviewer's questions. What role would she like best? "A mother, where I could be in control, be in charge." She admires take-charge actors?John Wayne, Jane Fonda...
