Jamileh |
Birth name
Fatemeh Sadeghi
Date of Birth
26 October 1946, Tehran, Iran
Jamileh (October 26, 1946, Tehran, Iran)
Fatemeh Sadeghi (born 26 October 1946), better known by her stage name Jamileh (Ġamīle), is an Iranian actress, cabaret performer, and dancer.
She is responsible for popularizing a version of the belly dance in Iran, and was reportedly the highest-paid cabaret actor of Iranian origin in 1974. She has also performed acting and dancing roles in many Iranian films of the 1960s and 1970s.
Jamileh was born 1946 in Tehran, Iran. Her father, Rajab Vâksi, was a walnut seller who later became an actor in the siâh theater scene in Iran. Her uncle, Morshed Nasrollâh, was a zarb player and an itinerant bard. As a child, she became proficient in belly dancing and performed with her father.
Dancing career
Jamileh was first involved in the theater scene and mostly performed a self-taught style of Bollywood dance in traditional cafés. Her first marriage was to J.R., a singer of the ruhowzi genre of musical comedy in traditional Persian theater. She then married Mohammad Arbâb, the owner of the Bakara-Mulan Ruzh cabaret.
After marrying Arbâb, she continued dancing and performed in cabarets such as Arbâb's Bakara-Mulan Ruzh as well as in her own cabaret, Lidu. Her marriage to Arbâb lasted until his death in 1973.

Much like other Iranian entertainers of the 20th century such as Susan, Delkash, and Googoosh, Jamileh's dancing career in cabarets provided her the opportunity to enter Iranian cinema, which would eventually lead her to national fame.
She began her acting career after her marriage to Arbâb, aiming to be recognized as a "dancer-actor" in Iranian cinema, like Samia Gamal in Egyptian cinema. She mainly played dance-related roles in more than 25 films, including roles in Zan-e Vahshi-e Vahshi (1969), Dokhtar-e Zalem Bala (1970), and 'Aroos-e Paberahneh (1974).
Many of the films she starred in were produced by Ferdowsi Film, owned by her husband Arbâb, including the 1971 film Khoshgeltarin Zan-e 'Alam. She was reportedly the highest-paid cabaret actor of Iranian origin in 1974, and performed for prominent foreign guests including Henry Kissinger and Aristotle Onassis.
After fleeing Iran, Jamileh continued her career in Los Angeles, California, where she settled down. She performed frequently at the Cabaret Tehran in Los Angeles for more than 20 years and through her fifties.
Legacy
Although dancers like Mahvash and Afat first introduced the belly dance and other Persian folk dances in Iranian cinema, Jamileh was responsible for popularizing a version of the dance in Iran through her performances and film roles. She is a master of Persian dances, including the traditional Bandari and Qasemabadi dances, and some classical Persian dances, and became known for her specific style of the belly dance, as well as Persian dances such as the jâheli dance style. The jâheli style of dance involves imitating a roughneck, jâhel man, and is more overtly erotic compared to more traditional Persian dances. It is often performed wearing a kolâh makhmali, a type of hat similar to a fedora.
According to Ida Meftahi, a historian specializing in modern Iranian history, Jamileh was not associated with the image of a stereotypical cabaret dancer in the media, but the image of "a valuable artist" that was likely improved with the help of her husband's influence.
Filmography
Jamileh's dancing and acting roles in Iranian cinema include:
1967 Gedayan-e Tehran 1967 Gohar-e shab-cheragh | The luminescent jewel 1969 Zan-e Vahshi-e Vahshi | The wild, wild woman 1970 Dokhtar-e Zalem Bala | The beautiful tyrant of a girl 1971 Khoshgeltarin Zan-e 'Alam 1974 'Aroos-e Paberahneh | The barefoot bride 1974 Gol Pari Joon 1975 Sharaf | The honour 1976 Jedal
