Betty Mahmoody (born June 9, 1945, in Alma, Michigan) is an American author and public speaker best known for her book, Not Without My Daughter, which was also made into a film. She is the President and co-founder of One World: For Children, an organization that promotes understanding between cultures and strives to offer security and protection to children of bi-cultural marriages. Not Without My Daughter is an account of her experiences in 1984–1986, when she left Michigan, to go to Iran with her husband and daughter for what she was promised would be a short visit. Once there, she and her daughter were held against their will. The book was made into a 1991 film starring Sally Field as Betty. The book details her 500 mi (800 km) escape to Turkey through the snowy Iranian mountains, and the help she received from many Iranians. More
