Information trouvée : Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary (Persian: ثریا اسفندیاری بختیاری, romanized: Sorayâ Esfandiyâri-Baxtiyâri;
22 June 1932 – 26 October 2001) was Queen of the Imperial State of Iran as the second
wife of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, whom she married in 1951. Their marriage suffered
many pressures, particularly when it became clear that she was infertile. She rejected
the Shah's suggestion that he might take a second wife in order to produce an heir,
as he rejected her suggestion that he might abdicate in favor of his half-brother.
In March 1958, their divorce was announced. After a brief career as an actress, and
a liaison with Italian film director Franco Indovina, Soraya lived alone in Paris
until her death.
