Sahar Tabar became an international internet curiosity in 2017 after posting a series of unsettling photos that made her face look almost unrecognizable.
The images spread well beyond her original Instagram audience, and strangers soon gave her a nickname that followed her for years: the ‘Zombie Angelina Jolie’.
Tabar, whose real name is Fatemeh Khishvand, was from Tehran, Iran. Her pale skin, hollow-looking cheeks, oversized lips and sharp features led many people to assume she had gone through extreme cosmetic surgery in an attempt to resemble Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.
