Education and Marriage
He joined the French Army in the year 1944 and served there until 1947, then returned to Iran. During his service in France, Alireza married a French-Polish descent widow named Christiane Shoulooski. She was the daughter of André-Louis Shoulooski, a French mathematician and the author of Cholesky decomposition. She was a beautiful woman and had received the first prize for the most beautiful leg in Deauville from Marlene Dietrich.[2] Alireza accepted Christiane's four-year-old son, Christian Pahlavi, as his adopted son and gave him his surname. Alireza also became the father of a boy named Ali Patrick Pahlavi through Christiane, but the Iranian court did not recognize this marriage, so Alireza's wife and Shahpour Alireza lived in Paris.
Displeased with his brothers' passive stance towards the events in Mohammad Mossadegh's government, Alireza Pahlavi founded the "Shah's Fedayeen." Unlike his brothers, he actively supported the Shah's regime and was ready to take effective action against Mossadegh's government. He played a key role in organizing the events of 28 February 1953, by calling for and mobilizing thugs such as Tayeb Haj Rezai, Hossein Esmaeili Pour (Ramazan Yekie), and Shaban Jafari. All those who mobilized to demonstrate against Mossadegh and in support of the Shah on 28 Mordad also played similar roles. [3]
On 21 November 1953 , Saturday, Alireza Pahlavi was appointed as the head of the Army Sports Association.[4]
Death
Ali Reza died on 17 October 1954 in a plane crash in the Alborz Mountains.[5][6]
