She is Iranian cos she can speak the language and has an Iranian passport. Whoever keeps on changing in to just American atress they can bog off wiki before I get mad.

See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). Ethnicity doesn't go in header, only nationality. In Soomekh's case, she's obviously an American citizen who has been in the US since she was 3. Do you have a source that she is of Iranian nationality/citizenship? She may well not be, and if she isn't, then her only nationality is "American" and that's the only thing that can go into the header. (Besides, the Iran birth place is listed prominantly in the infobox and is hard to miss) Mad Jack 20:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Giv me a source of her American citizenship then maybe. But she speaks Farsi no probs.

She should be referred to more than just an American. She is proud of her Iranain (Persian) Jewish roots and I'm sure that she's also proud of being an American so she should be referred to as an Iranian-born American Jewish actress.

There is no mention of Bahar in IMDb having a role in Syriana, so I deleted Syriana from her filmography.

She appeared on the director's cut. Look it up on google or something. I recently updated imdb so they can put her as uncredited. But she played the role of Yassi in the director's cut.

So what if she was born on Easter. She was born on Passover too and she would like it better if she was in the Passover category rather than Easter. She's a proud Jew.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
