Are you talking about this picture? I don't the date on it, but the Shah did look that in the 70s.
I was browsing through ebay again, and an edition of "Royal Romanaces" about the Shah and Soraya was/is up for sale. Horribly expensive, but there's a link to supersized scans of the pages, and it makes a good read. According to that:
The fur stole Soraya wore on her wedding day was a gift from Stalin (it was a cold winter's day in Feburary with limited heating in that palace, and Soraya was still weak from her recent near-death illness).
The Shah had several half-brothers who were ineligible for the Peacock throne because their mother had Qajar blood (the former dynasty that ruled Persia before the Pahlavis came to power). There was one half brother who WAS eligible, but he was killed in a plane crash 1954. The Shah and Soraya asked the Iranian gov't to amend the law that prevented Qajar descendents to inherit the throne, but the gov't refused. Thus the Shah was forced to divorce Soraya after she refused to participate in his temporary marriage.
Turns out Franco Indovina was not Soraya's only tragic loss. After Indovina's death, Soraya had other male companions and friends, but many of them died under tragic circumstances (drug overdose, murder, suicide; I'm starting to think that the Shah might have killed all of them off in a jealous rage).
