Mohammad Ali Fardin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mohammad Ali Fardin (1930 - April 6, 2000) was an Iranian sport wrestler and actor.
Fardin was known as the "King of Hearts" for his role in the Iranian films of that name. He was a former wrestler who came to fame in the 1960's. For the average Iranians, he represented a hero and served as an alternative to the foreign movie stars. He usually played the poor tough guy with the heart of gold who married the girl at the end. His other films include Gedayaneh Tehran, Ganjeh Gharoon, and Parvaz dar asemanha. After the Iranian Revolution, he starred in only one more film, and his earlier films were eventually banned. Subsequently, he opened a bakery in Tehran. More than 20,000 mourners attended his funeral in Tehran.
