Parveen "Pari" Ghafari (1930 - July 2, 2013) was an Iranian singer and actor.

Parveen Ghaffari came from a middle-class family who lived in the Tafresh district of Tehran.

His father, Mirza Hassan Ghaffari Hamedani, was one of those who during the Iranian's fight for  Constitutionalism was injured in the 1908 bombardment of the Majlis of Iran by Russian Colonel Liakhov on 23 June in Tehran.

Samuel Khachikian's "The Midnight Terror" and Mirmehdi Samadzadeh's "Dead End" and "Zan va Aroosakshayash" directed by Esmail Riahi are films in which Pari Ghaffari appeared.

She is one of the symbols of Iranian cinema. "Blonde of Our City" by Abbas Shabaviz made her name famous in the country alongside that of Fardin.

In Pari Ghaffari's book Memoirs of A Black Widow, it is claimed that she had a romantic relationship with then Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The book was published only once in 1997. Some critics such as Mohammad Ghaed, believes that if this book was reprinted, it could be the best-selling book in the history of Iran. Some people have called this book a fake, like the memoirs of Hossein Fardoost, Faridah GHotbi, Ardeshir Zahedi, Shahnaz Pahlavi, and Tajol Moluk Ayromello.

The last years of life

She lived alone in the last years of her life and the only person, who supported her financially, was Saber Rahbar.

Parveen Ghaffari died on July 11, 2013 at the age of 83 in Nowshahr and was buried there.
