Hot Sarah Shahi - Nino Munoz Photoshoot -



Aahoo Jahansouz "Sarah" Shahi (born January 10, 1980) is an American actress. A former NFL Cheerleader, Shahi was named no. 90 on the Maxim magazine "Hot 100 of 2005" list; she moved up to no. 66 in 2006. She also ranked no. 5 on the AfterEllen.com hot list in 2007. She is probably best known for starring in The L Word as Carmen de la Pica Morales and in Life as Detective Dani Reese. In 2011 she began playing the role of Kate Reed in the legal drama Fairly Legal on the USA Network.


Sarah Shahi was born and grew up in Euless, Texas, to an Iranian father, Abbas Shahi, and a Spanish mother, known as Mahmonir who was an interior designer. She has an older brother, Cyrus, and a younger sister Samantha.[citation needed] She is a great-great-granddaughter of the 19th century Iranian king Fath Ali Shah Qajar.[citation needed] Sarah's family was forced to leave their homeland two years before the political and social unrest caused by the Islamic Revolution. Her birthname, Aahoo, means "gazelle" in Persian.

Shahi adopted Sarah as her name in second grade after hearing the song "Sarah" because "I got tormented" by other children, but grew up speaking Persian as well as English at her father's insistence. Shahi's parents began entering her in beauty pageants at the age of eight. Her parents divorced when she was 10. Shahi attended Trinity High School, where she was captain of the volleyball and basketball teams, and Dallas' Southern Methodist University, majoring in English and Theater. Shahi won the Miss Fort Worth USA pageant in 1997; hoping to become an actress, she joined the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders 1999–2000 squad despite not having cheered before, and appeared on the cover of the squad's 2000 calendar before moving to Los Angeles.
