Dr reza jarrahy biography of christopher

Ten years ago, Dr. Reza Jarrahy made his first trip to Guatemala with a team of doctors.

A civil war had recently ended in the country, and the team set up operating rooms inside vacated military barracks. The doctors brought all of their equipment, including two anesthesia machines, in an 18-wheeler.

But patients were not lining up for treatment, as they usually did on trips such as this one. The team soon learned that its modified hospital was formerly a site where militia had brought men and women to be killed.

With persistence, though, the doctors earned the trust of the community. By the end of the week, parents crowded by the hundreds outside of the screening center, holding up their children for consideration, just as the team had to return home.

When Jarrahy, a plastic surgeon and UCLA assistant professor, returned to Guatemala earlier this month, the trip was not just about surgery. It was his third visit to the country and one of four or five weeklong overseas excursions he takes each year.

Instead of military barracks, he visited the homes of three Mayan families.

The families live in small one- or two-room huts, often without running water. Most of them can afford to eat only tortillas, which they cook in open fires in the middle of the huts. Their homes fill with smoke, and with as many as 19 people living together, it’s not uncommon for children to fall into the flames.

“The walls were dark because of the burning flames, and the soot that was in the air,” said Dr. Noah Siegel, leader of Jarrahy’s group. “It’s astounding that people live that way.”

The team of doctors, working for the nongovernmental organization Mayan Families, spent its first day in Guatemala building a simple ceramic stove in each of those three homes. The stoves cost $15 and take around 2

Geena Davis testified Thursday, Nov. 21, that she does not believe she was ever legally married to a plastic surgeon who filed for divorce from her in 2018 even though a video of a 2001 ceremony shows her vowing to love him as her husband until death.

Testifying during a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing to determine the validity of her marriage to Dr. Reza Jarrahy, the 63-year-old Oscar-winning actress said that the former couple never obtained a marriage license and that she does not believe his father was qualified under New York law to marry the couple in the way a priest, rabbi or judge could.

The Iranian-American Jarrahy maintains his father was a valid officiant under Islamic law. The 48-year-old physician filed his petition in May 2018 and is seeking spousal support.

Judge Mark Juhas said his only task is to decide whether Jarrahy’s father had the authority to marry the couple. But Jarrahy’s lawyer, Stephen Kolodny, said the video of the purported wedding that took place in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York in September 2001 is also a test of the actress’ credibility.

According to Kolodny, Davis had her publicist tell the world a day after the ceremony that she and the doctor were married. The actress also held herself out as a married woman for the duration of the 17-year relationship with Jarrahy, said Kolodny, who played the video of the ceremony in court during the hearing.

Kolodny questioned Davis about her vows in the video when she told Jarrahy that she considered him her husband and that she would love him until “the end of my days.”

“Were you lying when you said that?,” Kolodny asked.

“No” Davis replied.

“You meant that?” Kolodny inquired.

“Yes,” Davis replied.

Kolodny also has argued that Davis researched and planned the ceremony and agreed that Jarrahy’s father could officiate.

But Juhas said

American actor (born 1956)

Virginia Elizabeth "Geena" Davis (born January 21, 1956) is an American actor. She is the recipient of various accolades, including an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award.

Davis made her acting debut in the satirical romantic comedy Tootsie (1982) and starred in the science-fiction thriller The Fly (1986), one of her first box office hits. While the fantasy comedy Beetlejuice (1988) brought her to prominence, the romantic drama The Accidental Tourist (1988) earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She established herself as a leading lady with the road film Thelma & Louise (1991), for which she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the sports film A League of Their Own (1992), garnering a Golden Globe Award nomination. However, Davis's roles in the box office failures Cutthroat Island (1995) and The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), both directed by then-husband Renny Harlin, were followed by a lengthy break and downturn in her career.

Davis starred as the adoptive mother of the title character in the Stuart Little franchise (1999–2005) and as the first female president of the United States in the television series Commander in Chief (2005–2006), winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Ac
