Currently at LACMA is the exhibition "Elizabeth Taylor in Iran: Photographs by Firooz Zahedi". In this video posted by LACMA, Firooz Zahedi talks of his experiences.
I owe my career to her. She encouraged me when no one else would, when my family was pressuring me to go back to Iran. She was doing a movie in L.A. and said I could be her photographer on the set. When the movie finished, I was supposed to back. But I decided to get married and [Taylor] was the matron of honor.
Currently at LACMA until June 12, 2011.
