Firoozeh Dumas: My name is Firoozeh Dumas. Firoozeh means turquoise in Persian, which is my native language, and Dumas is actually my married name. It's a French name, and people often ask me if I'm related to Alexandre Dumas, the very famous French writer who wrote The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. Unfortunately, there's no relation. I wish there were. But if you get confused, this is how you can tell us apart. I'm the one who's still alive.
