Whats your point? That all the smart ones left Iran and become successful elsewhere? Or that many of them are only part Iranian and have never set foot in the country as an adult?

http://www.reply.com
Company description: Online referral source for automobiles, real estate, home improvement and financing
Founders: "Behnam Behrouzi", 23, "John Truchard", 32, and "Payam Zamani", 33
Location: Walnut Creek, California
Projected 2004 sales: $20 million
Coming to America: The story of how Reply.com was founded has more twists and turns than a Hollywood movie. It begins with how Payam Zamani got from his home country of Iran to the United States. At age 16, Zamani was smuggled out of Iran to escape the extreme religious persecution that members of the Bahai Faith were subjected to. He came to America in 1988 with $75 and no knowledge of English.
Paint the Town: The entrepreneurial bug first bit Zamani during a summer as general manager of Student Works Program, a student-run painting franchise at the University of California, Davis, where he met fellow student (and future vice president of sales) John Truchard in 1992. "Since Payam and I both enjoyed the experience, it was natural for us to talk about future opportunities," says Truchard.
A Portal Is Born: Remember AutoWeb.com? A co-founder, Zamani left AutoWeb six months after taking it public in 1999. "I always felt that there was a lot left undone," he says. "I wanted to get back in there and rebuild that concept." And that's just what Zamani and his team did.
Next Step: In 2001, Next Phase Media was launched and later became Reply.com. Besides automobiles, Reply.com is a gateway for real estate, home improvement and financing. All the content is free to the consumer. Since Zamani's nephew, Behnam Behrouzi, had been an entrepreneur since high school, Zamani pulled him in. As CTO, Behrouzi played a pivotal role in building up the technology to power the new venture. "Our vision was to eventually do with services what Amazon did with products," says Behrouzi.
Going Public: The co-founders made the decision to not touch any VC financing, instead opting to bootstrap the business. That has paid off. Behrouzi, Truchard and Zamani have big plans for Reply.com. An IPO could be in the works early next year. "Five years from now, Reply.com [will] be a household name," says Truchard. At the rate they're growing, you can expect it to be even sooner. —A.C.K.

not trying to make a point, just sharing info (I was under the impression that was the reason all of us are here)... there are very successful Iranians inside Iran too and I might add them to this thread as well.. only because they are not as well known as the Iranians outside of Iran doesn't make them any less talented or anything... I just fail to see how me posting couple of pictures got you all worked up?Originally Posted by ArmedPacifist
Is this somekind of Iranian week?.
Finland week is next week okay?

I coppied most of the stuff from other forums so blame them for itAnd she's just a model, not a celebrity.
This dude claims that he is huge in Iran. http://www.arash.se/
well he is "hugely" disliked in Iran... he is considered to be the worst looking singer from Iran and he is just too pro-Indian in his music... his songs are all right but the clownish act and his undeserved luck with hot women makes him to be very famous but very disliked at the same time... I just don't know why Fifa chose him as official WC singer in Germany
now from Inside Iran:

In competition for the Caméra d'Or, Niki Karimi has come to present Yek Shab (One Night) in the Un Certain Regard section. The film is a directorial debut for the 34-year-old Iranian woman, an actress by training. "Acting no longer satisfies me," she explains. "Often the scenes in the films I acted in didn't satisfy me. I was very disappointed by the way certain directors directed me. And also, I think I have things to say and I'd like to say them through cinema, the kind of cinema I like which describes reality and which gets close to people's daily lives without making compromises."
