Elizabeth Taylor in Iran

In 1976, Elizabeth Taylor took her first and only trip to Iran. Firooz Zahedi, the Iranian-born photographer, was an art student in his 20s when he met Taylor in Washington, D.C., through his cousin Ardeshir Zahedi, Iran’s ambassador to the United States in the mid-1970s. The ambassador wanted Taylor to go to Iran for the inaugural flight on Iran Air and the young photographer accompanied Taylor to Tehran. The result were a few iconic pictures of Elizabeth, aged 44 at the time...
