That's right.
Well, only last year she turned down the Légion d'honneur.
No, she made it clear that she meant no disrespect to the reward itself.
But she said the French government had a hypocritical attitude towards Iran with its visa policies.
In a letter, she said, I can't continue seeing the children of Iranian oligarchs come to spend their holidays in France anymore.
even become naturalised, while at the same time young dissidents have difficulty in obtaining a tourist visa to come to see what the country of the Enlightenment and human rights looks like.
Well, her family have released a very short statement.
They said actually that she died of sadness a little over a year after the death of her husband.
He was a Swedish producer and a collaborator on many of her projects.
And in a series of recent social media posts, she talked about losing the love of her life.
Now, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, is among those to have paid tribute.
He called her a remarkable artist who transformed an Iranian childhood into a universal fable.
NYU Dental School in Manhattan trains around 10% of the country's dentists, and thousands of New Yorkers come for discounted treatment. Dr Richard Valachovic is a clinical professor and executive director at the school's Centre for Oral Health Policy. He says the busy operation runs at capacity, but it could overflow if Robert F.

The addition of low levels of fluoride to drinking water has long been considered one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century by America's Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It started in the 1940s and is credited to a dramatic decline in cavities in the population. I think fluoride is a poison. But not everyone is convinced.
RFK Junior posted on X that the naturally occurring mineral was associated with several health problems, and the anti-fluoride movement in recent years has gained traction. The flames stoked when a federal judge in San Francisco ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to strengthen regulations, citing a study that linked the mineral to lower IQ levels in children.
Diana Winters is the deputy director at the Resnick Center for Food Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law.
Among the plaintiffs in the San Francisco lawsuit was the Fluoride Action Network, a group that's against water fluoridation. Stuart Cooper is their executive director.
Back at NYU Dental School, there's a feeling that those opposing fluoride have forgotten how harmful cavities can be.
The decision to add fluoride is done at a community level, and despite the anti-fluoride movement having become a mainstream debate, RFK Junior will have a hard job convincing the country's scientific bodies that the low levels in drinking water are posing any harm when many can't afford dental care.
