I heard that Maines is married to an Arab, which might fit in with her regard for America.

You're referring to Adrian Pasdar, who was born in Pittsfield, Mass.

As for his family, his father is Homayoon Pasdar, who was born in Iran and worked as a surgeon near Philadelphia. His mother, Rosemarie Sbresny, is a native of Germany who worked as a nurse and then became an English teacher in France. She currently owns a successful travel agency. Younger sister, Anamarie Pasdar, worked as an artistic director/associate producer for the SoHo Rep Theater Company in New York City.

Other than that, I can't tell his political bent from this source (which is sometimes a good thing. If only his wife was as much as an enigma).

Adrian is the one who married down.

See, most of my information comes from the informed people of FR. We are a valued bank of information. The reason I trust FR for my news is because if something is posted with error, it is quickly corrected by another more informed poster. A self-correcting resource of news.

Thanks for the real facts on Pasdar.

Reply to post about Maines husband, I have never met an Iranian that liked Americans or our country. There may be some but I have not ran across any.

He's not an Arab but a Persian.

That's like calling an Korean national an Japanese.

To the uninitiated, Persian HATE Arabs and Woe to whoever calls an Persian an Arab and vice versa.
