Googoosh was born Faegheh Atashin on 5 May 1950 in Sarcheshmeh Street of Tehran to parents Nasrin and Saber Atashin who were originally Azerbaijani immigrants from the USSR. The most celebrated Iranian pop artist of all time.
During the late 1970s, Googoosh became involved with Homayoun Mestaghi, but after the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Googoosh served a three-month jail sentence because she was living with him outside of marriage, which was illegal under the Islamic regime.[citation needed] Several years later in 1985, Googoosh divorced Mestaghi. She then married director Masoud Kimiai in 1991. They divorced in 2003.
Googoosh is rumored to reside in a four-bedroom, four-bath home in Beverly Crest (a neighborhood of Los Angeles), which she bought for $1.37 million from Jack M. Snyder and Stephanie E. Snyder on 13 April 2011.
