Default HIM Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran (1919-1980): Life Events and Death

Quote:
Does anyone know how many wives had Shah of Iran and for how long?
As far as I am informed Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi had two wives (successively) - the first one was beautiful green-eyed Princess Soraya (Esfandiary Bakhtiari), also known as a 'princess with a sad eyes'. Very sad and romantic love story. The marriage didn't last for long since she couldn't bare children. After they divorced, she became one of the most prominent members of the world's high society. Yet, they say she died of a broken heart (in Paris).

Second and, to my knowledge, last wife was Empress Farah Diba. She is the mother of Shah's children and his widow now.

The role of Epress Fawcia is confusing, though - whom was she married to?
