Tabatabai

about

Jasmin Tabatabai first saw the light of the day on 8 June 1967 in Iranian Teheran as the daughter of a German mother and an Iranian father - Jasmin's parents had met at the Munich "Oktoberfest" in 1956. Together with her elder brother and two sisters, she grew up with her family in Iran and visited the German School in Teheran. Jasmin Tabatabai and her family (enlarge picture)Before the fall of the Shah and the putsch by revolutionary leader Khomeini, there were already disturbances in the whole country during September 1978, whereupon the German School Teheran, which Jasmin Tabatabai attended, was closed down. Uncertain of how the "Iranian Revolution" would turn, Jasmin's Persian father sent his family hurriedly to the "safe" homeland of his German wife near Munich. "We actually thought the situation would calm down in Iran and we could soon return", remembers Jasmin Tabatabai. Instead, Jasmin with her siblings and her mother stayed permanently in German. Her father however went back to Iran where he died in 1986. It took a long while before Jasmin Tabatabai got along with life in Germany. Two passions: Film and Music As a little child Jasmin already wished to become an actress, when she grew up, acting had always been her "dream job", as she always loved to "entertain people". In 1973 at the German School Teheran she performed her first appearance on stage in the musical "Struwwelpeter", where she played "Naughty Friederich" ("I was already then the "Bad Girl"). Later
