When the Pahlavi monarchy was approaching its final days in power, I was playing with Cabbage Patch Kids dolls in Cupertino, Calif., and thought that my friends’ parents who worked for Apple ran an orchard.
The death of her by-then-exiled husband from cancer, the 2001 suicide of her daughter Leila and now the death of her youngest son. True, I had been feeling rather disappointed in Farah until that moment. She was all over the film Valentino: The Last Emperor, which I’d recently seen, and I couldn’t help but wish that instead of just mingling with the fashion glitterati of Europe, she would engage in thoughtful charity and be terribly glamorous — like Queen Rania of Jordan.
