Jewell Negin Farshad, was born and raised in Tehran, Iran. From a young age, she found her passion as a performing artist. She was immediately fascinated by the stage and performing in theater. Starting at age 9 Jewell knew she wanted to be a professional actress and model. However, pursuing that dream in the Islamic dogma of Iran was unattainable since women are banned from modeling and discouraged from acting. In fact, women were banned from acting after the Iranian Revolution of 1978-79 until the late ’90s in Iran. To this day women are still not allowed to appear in commercials and most female written roles are still played by men in theaters as well as TV/and Film. In addition, women are limited in their wardrobe choices in TV and Films. They are not allowed to show their hair and are forced to cover their skin; allowing only their faces and hands to be shown.
