Born March 15, 1972 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Birth Name Anne Nahabedian

Mini Bio (1)
Canadian born actress Anne Bedian didn't start her young career in the arts, but rather in the military as a soldier. Bedian served in the Canadian Armed Forces at the age of 17 as a Bosn, She was one of the first women to enter that trade, which included training for demolitions, small arms, firefighting and chemical warfare. She was the youngest member on board the HMCS Nipigon, the first warship to employ women. Oddly enough in her theatrical acting career playing a variety of roles ranging from cops, psychics, waitresses - she has never portrayed a soldier!

However her proficiency for speaking several languages and incredible range of dialects has served her artistic career well. Bedian is fluent in English, French, Armenian, Spanish, German and self-taught reading Hebrew and Russian, and is also skilled at performing roles which require dialects including Middle Eastern and European.

Anne began both her Meisner training and her career in her hometown of Montreal, Quebec, then moved to Toronto and then to New York where she furthered her Meisner training with Ron Stetson of the Neighborhood Playhouse, before finally landing in Los Angeles.

Bedian can next be seen guest starring as Fatima Al-Harazi in the Season 1 reboot of "Roseanne" - Fatima is Roseanne's new next door neighbor who brings diversity to the Conner neighborhood. You can also find Bedian on the big screen starring in the lead role in Robert Nazar Arjoyan's "I Promised Her Life", a short film currently screening across the country in over 20 film festivals. Bedian plays the leading role of Elena, a grieving Armenian-American mother who defies a centuries-old ritual and tests the limits of tradition at her daughter's funeral. Her performance earned Bedian "Best Actress at Deep In The Heart Film Festival in March 2018.

Bedian might be best recognized from her memorable guest star on the Emmy nominated episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm - "The Palestinian Chicken", ranked the highest rated episode in Curb history.

"It's the first time we've ever heard "Zionist pig" used as pillow talk." - The Inquirer

Anne was invited to return to the Curb comeback and reprise her role as Shara, the anti-semitic Palestinian Restaurant owner who seduces Larry yet again.

"On the upside, Larry still got to go for another round in the sack with Shara from Al-Abbas (welcome back, Anne Bedian!), who connected him with the consul to begin with. A redux of their hate-speechified coitus from "Palestinian Chicken" was a nice nod to what is arguably Curb's signature episode" - Vulture

" The return of Shara (and a hilarious Anne Bedian) from one of Curb's best episodes, Season 8's "Palestinian Chicken," with an even more profane sex scene with Larry. It'll be hard to get the image of Larry shouting the names of several members of Donald Trump's administration and nearly climaxing out of my head." -The Ringer

'Curb Your Enthusiasm': How Trump Turnover Forced Multiple Changes to Dirty Talk Sex Scene

Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic/Getty Images (Schaffer); Courtesy of HBO (Still)
Larry David on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'; Inset: Jeff Schaffer
Jeff Schaffer, executive producer of the HBO comedy, goes inside the supersized second episode, which also featured a "Palestinian Chicken" callback.
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from season nine, episode two, of Curb Your Enthusiasm, "The Pickle Gambit."]
A handful of TV shows in the era of Trump are opting to not mention the president's name in storylines. On Sunday night, Curb Your Enthusiasm veered the opposite way.
The ninth season premiere of the HBO comedy turned Larry David into a wanted man when a fatwa (death sentence) was issued against him by Iran's Ayatollah. In the second episode, titled "The Pickle Gambit," Larry reaches out to an old Muslim friend in hopes that she can help. Shara (played by Anne Bedian), who is best known for wanting to "fuck the Jew out of him" in the memorable season eight episode titled "Palestinian Chicken," returns to his bedroom before connecting him with her pal, who happens to be the Iranian consulate.
While having sex, Shara encourages him to talk dirty. "Blaspheme to me like you blasphemed to the Nation of Islam!" she says, referencing his fatwa. Larry's reply is to rattle off Republican names in President Trump's administration until he climaxes: "Donald Trump, Steven Bannon, Jared Kushner, Mike Pence, Kellyanne Conway, Mitch McConnell" — and, for the kicker, he screams — "Rudy Giuliani!"
Jeff Schaffer, Curb's longtime executive producer and David's right-hand man, tells The Hollywood Reporter that the ongoing real-life turnover within the Trump administration forced multiple edits and dialogue replacements on the scene. The first day of filming was the day after the 2016 presidential election, and they filmed the second-episode sex scene later in November.
"That was Larry's idea on the day, he just started going through the list. But then Trump kept firing the people that we were naming, so we had to keep opening up the episode to change them," says Schaffer of the names, which initially included Sean Spicer and Reince Priebus. "[Steve] Bannon ended up going but he’s still a dark force that needed to be mentioned, so we added Jared Kushner because he seems to be impervious. [Anthony] Scaramucci would have been a perfect ender, but I’m glad we didn’t try it because we would have had to go in and change it again 11 days later."
The scene wasn't entirely therapeutic to film — "We need so much more therapy than that," he says — but it did have everyone on set pretty hysterical: "Having a orgasmic cry over Rudy Giuliani is not something you hear every day."
Below in a chat with THR, Schaffer reveals more behind-the-scenes dealings from the episode, including the matchmaking of Ted Danson (who plays a fictional version of himself) and Cheryl David (played by Cheryl Hines), how they landed on TV Larry's recurring disguise, and what's in store for next week.

Why 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Launched Season 9 With That Bombshell
Ted Danson and Cheryl David dating was a seed you planted in the premiere that quickly paid off in this episode. Ted asks Larry for permission to date his ex-wife and when he says no, Larry finds out they are doing it anyway. (He also finds out that Marty Funkhouser, played by Bob Einstein, dated Cheryl behind his back.) How quickly did you land on Ted becoming a romantic interest for Cheryl?
We knew we wanted to have complications with single Cheryl and single Larry. The basic driving force is that we wanted to have Cheryl [Hines] return to the show, because we love her and we love her relationship with Larry. So we needed to figure out a way to keep her in the sphere while they’re still divorced. We had talked about the idea of her dating someone that Larry was going to be in business with or have some sort of interactions with and then we just said, “What if it’s Ted?” But we had to do two things: Split Ted up from his wife and then tell Ted, who is still very much married to the delightful Mary Steenburgen, that he was going to play Ted Danson on the show who is getting a divorce from Mary Steenburgen.
On premiere night, viewers did take to social media to question if Danson and Steenburgen were still together.
They’re a great couple; they have such an amazing relationship. Once we got Ted to swallow that bitter pill, he was totally cool with it. The scenes between him and Larry are one of my favorite things of the episode, with Ted being so condescending to Larry about Mary and how Larry could never get someone like Mary Steenburgen. (Laughs.) It was a great way to bring Ted in. The Ted-Larry relationship is one of my favorites. Everybody has friends that you don’t like very much, and I feel like Larry and Ted are friends that don’t like each other very much, but they’re still friends. This gave us that relationship, but on steroids.
When speaking to Cheryl Hines ahead of the season, she intimated that TV Cheryl would be much more mature than TV Larry if one of them dated another’s friend. Is Larry going to be able to get over it?
You saw in the episode how his disguise [shown in the video below] gives him the ability to spy on them a little bit. Who knows what he would have done had he not been distracted by the pickle jar? That’s one of the things I like doing on Curb that we call “big thing, little thing.” Here’s a big thing: Your ex is dating one of your good friends and you want to confront them because they’re sneaking around behind your back. And you can, except there’s this little thing that is going to distract you and become so much more important than the big thing in that one moment. So we’ll see in the next few episodes how it plays out and whether Larry is going to be cool with it — or not.

Is it safe to say that we will see more of Ted and Cheryl pursuing their relationship?
Yes. Whether Larry wants it or not! The heart wants what it wants. Cheryl and Ted will continue to sort of explore these feelings for each other, over Larry’s dead body. They do seem very happy together!
Mary Steenburgen shot Larry down, claiming he wasn’t her type, and then Larry saw her arm-in-arm with a Larry lookalike. Will Mary continue to be in the season, and when does Lauren Graham enter the picture as a romantic interest for Larry?
We may see her again, but that was Larry’s shot at Mary and I think it didn’t work out. He’s just not her type, physically. Except here is a guy who looks just like him! Maybe, just maybe this will force Larry to look inward. But I doubt it. Lauren Graham is coming later. You’ll see her in the backend of the season. Cheryl is now happily with Ted so Larry would certainly like to date other people, but there are a few obstacles: He has a mustache like he’s a substitute wood shop teacher, he has a fatwa on him and he’s Larry David. He would like to be dating, and in the next episode we’ll see how his dating life and his fatwa life sort of run into each other.

How long did it take you to nail down Larry’s disguise, which seems to be making a return appearance next week?
There were two things with landing on the disguise. We wanted to make sure it wasn’t too good, because it’s TV Larry coming up with a quick disguise. But we wanted it to look diametrically opposed to Larry. So there’s the wig, the very different glasses, the army jacket and jeans. We went through a lot of wigs, mustaches and outfits. His mustache is never perfect. One side is a little off because we decided that TV Larry wears it when he’s out in public but when he’s back home or at a friend's, he’ll take it off. He’s putting it on and taking it off constantly, so it’s not always going to be perfect.
He blew up his chance with the Iranian consul because when they were video chatting, a stream of people ran by: A half-naked hooker, a half-naked teenager, Larry's new security guy and Leon Black (J.B. Smoove) screaming, “Get rid of the Muslims!” Is there any hope for him to turn this around?
It was going so well until Leon was so unhelpfully helpful. He served up a parfait of unfortunate coincidences. The consul will be no help to Larry. His TV life seems like it’s going nowhere and his life-life is sort of in danger too. The only people he can really count on are Leon and his untrusty new security, Swat. Larry’s in it now. He’s basically blown up his chance with the Ayatollah, his friends are dating Cheryl — both in front of and behind his back — so he’s in a real tough spot and it’s not going to get any easier next week.
How fun is it to play with a squirming and depressed TV Larry?
We like that there is a larger problem in his life. Still, he can’t seem to stop focusing on the smaller ones. I will say, real Larry does not care for wearing that wig. I don’t know what it is. Maybe as a proud, bald man his body was rejecting it? Saying, “Look how far I’ve come without you. I don’t need to do this.” We do a lot of crossboarding on episodes, and when we would tell him he had to put on the disguise he would groan. He loved the idea of it, but when actually doing the scenes he was counting the hours until we were done.

The episode had a big callback to the infamous "Palestinian Chicken" episode with the return of Larry’s anti-Semitic lover, Shara (Bedian). You said you wrote a couple surprise cameos into the season before even checking with the actors — was this one of those?
No — that’s coming up. There are still more surprises! But we never think that we should call something back just because we really liked it. That wasn’t the impetus. It was that Larry has a fatwa from the Ayatollah of Iran, the Muslim clerics of the world are not happy with him, and who can he look to for help? It seemed like the most perfect way to bring her back because it was organic to the plot. She’s the only real Muslim “friend” Larry has, the only one he could turn to. So it came from the story. Anne is so great and she is so funny with Larry. Just when she sees Larry’s disguise and says, “I like it. It hides the Jew.” (Laughs.) She came in and it was like she never left.
Salman Rushdie said you called him for his approval about being the inspiration for the fatwa. Does his real story provide hints for what Larry is in for?
Larry spent the last five years researching Salman Rushdie for the musical, so we also had to get well-versed to what he went through. There might be some clues there. Or maybe we’re just history buffs. But I will say that the fatwa story will continue with a vengeance in the next episode.
The episode was 36 minutes long, following a 40-minute premiere. Are they all supersized?
Next week’s will also be north of 30 minutes. Larry has a lot to say this year, so it just ended up this way. There are so many people that are angry at him, it would seem unfair to not give them all their due time.
You've said that David never considers the audience and is unconcerned about offending people. Have you gotten any backlash from the premiere?
I haven’t but I also don’t really look. I’m not on Twitter. Whether people appreciate it or not, we’re not trying to do anything other than make a show we think is funny. That’s reasons one through 10 on doing the show. That’s all we’re trying to do. You may like it, you may not like it. We’re fine either way, but we’re doing something we think is funny. Nothing is off-limits when we’re doing the show. As you saw with this episode, even the outline of Larry’s own penis in pajamas is up for discussion — with a total stranger at a hotel, no less!

Curb your Enthusiasm – season eight, episode three
Damn the politics – good food and good sex are Larry David's prime concerns this week

Larry and Jeff think the Palestinian chicken is pretty, pretty tasty
SPOILER ALERT: This blog is for those watching Curb Your Enthusiasm on More4. Do not read on if you haven't seen episode three – and if you have seen further in the series, please be aware that many UK viewers will not have done.
Paul Owen's episode two blog
This week's Curb Your Enthusiasm was genuinely transgressive and risk-taking in a way that the show hasn't been for a long time, both in terms of its sexual politics and its actual politics.
Larry and Jeff discover a Palestinian restaurant that serves the tastiest chicken in LA. Should they even be eating there, when all the antisemitic Palestinians in the place hate them because they're Jewish? All their friends think not. It would actually be a great place for two Jews to come to have an affair, muses Larry, because no one they knew would ever discover them. He begins sleeping with the sexy Palestinian woman who runs the joint.

Why does he find her so attractive? As he explains to Jeff: "You know what it is? You're always attracted to someone who doesn't want you, right? Well, here we have someone who not only doesn't want you, doesn't even acknowledge your right to exist, wants your destruction. That's a turn-on."
Actually, Shara's racist hatred for him seems to be a turn-on for them both. As they have sex (with suitably occidental music playing in the background), she yells: "Filthy fucking Jew. You Zionist pig. You occupying fuck. Occupy this," and tells him: "I'm going to fuck the Jew out of you. You want to fuck me, like Israel fucked my country?"
For his part, Larry ecstatically mumbles: "Filthy Jew, filthy Jew!" and "I'm an occupier. I'm an occupier."
This is pretty strong stuff, and overlaid on top is another layer of satire mocking the "Ground Zero mosque" controversy in New York – which of course revolves around a building that is neither at Ground Zero nor a mosque. The Palestinian restaurant wants to open up a new branch next to Goldblatt's deli, provoking reactions that echo word-for-word arguments made about the proposed Park51 centre, the most amusingly accurate of which is probably: "I mean they can legally do it, true … but should they?" Larry speaks out fervently in support of the Palestinians' cause: "Yes, they should … This is America – they can do whatever they want."
So is David a "self-hater", as one commenter at Haaretz called him, and some of his friends in the episode seem close to thinking? In my view that's a fairly wilful misreading of what either the real or fictional Larry David is doing here, although Jewish women may have a case against him, given that they are uniformly presented this week as bossy, ball-breaking, irritating, inconsistent harridans – even young Sammy, who tries to blackmail Larry and then tells him: "Get the fuck out of my driveway, you bald prick!"
Conversely, is the episode racist towards Palestinians? Eleanor Kilroy at Mondoweiss thinks so, accusing David of "slandering all Palestinians as antisemitic", which he certainly does do. On the other hand, however, he takes their side in every argument about them with his friends – whether to eat in their restaurant, whether they should open the new branch, whether Funkhouser should wear his yarmulke in there. In addition, as the MidEastPosts blog points out, in lining the restaurant walls with posters showing Israeli tanks advancing on Palestinian stone-throwers and pleasant adverts urging: "Visit Palestine", and making jokes about illegal settlements and the like, David is pushing into US popular culture rarely-heard arguments, ideas and points of view.
Above all, as Meredith Blake writes, Larry, the character, is a "sensualist". If he wants to eat great chicken or have great sex that's the only thing that matters to him. His comments to Funkhouser and to the rabbi – "The penis doesn't care about race, creed or colour. The penis wants to get to its homeland" and "I know we have our problems with these people, but man oh man they know what they're doing chicken-wise" – are his key quotes here. As for Larry, the writer, his main concern is producing great comedy from controversial ideas, which he has done spectacularly well in this week's episode.

It's got to be Jeff's description of Larry as a "social assassin", the only one who dares to say what everybody else is thinking, no matter how much offence he causes. The whole hitman subplot, with its spaghetti western music, is very well done.
