Parvaneh Masoumi, a veteran actress of Iranian cinema and television, passed away at the age of 79 on Monday evening, December 27, after several days of hospitalization due to intestinal rupture and pulmonary infection

Naeimeh Nezamdoost, a cinema and television actress and a longtime colleague of Parvaneh Masoumi, announced the death of this veteran artist by publishing a photo on her personal page

Parvaneh Masoumi, whose birth name was Sakineh Kaboudarahangi, was born in 1944 in an old neighborhood of Tehran called the University of Tehran neighborhood, and completed her education in foreign languages

She began her acting career before the revolution, around 1971, and during this period, she played roles in films such as ‘Bita’, ‘Downpour’, ‘City of Tales’, ‘The Stranger and the Fog’, and ‘The Crow’. After that, she did not play any roles for several years and returned to the world of acting after the revolution. Parvaneh Masoumi’s first serious experience after the revolution was in 1984, playing in the film ‘The Daffodils’ directed by Rasoul Sadr-Ameli

Parvaneh Masoumi won the Crystal Simorgh for Best Actress at the 3rd Fajr Film Festival in 1984 for her role in the film ‘The Daffodils’ and at the 6th Fajr Film Festival in 1987 for her role in A Dowry for Rabab

The late Masoumi is one of the actresses who has appeared in very important works over the decades. Playing in brilliant works such as ‘Kuchak-e Jangali’, ‘Passenger of Rey’, ‘Imam Ali’, ‘Nakhoda Khorshid’, ‘Javan Police’, ‘Yousef Payambar’, etc., has made Masoumi a well-known actress for Iranian audiences

In 2021, in an interview with Fars News Agency, Parvaneh Masoumi, in response to a question about the most memorable characters she has played so far, said, I really liked the roles I played in the series Imam Ali (AS) and Nakhoda Khorshid
