I’ve always wondered about this strange journalist: Christiane Amanpour of CNN – Talking about NAZIS

[This woman has caught my attention from time to time over the years. Lately she's spewing stuff about "the NAZIs" … but I've wondered what exactly her background is. She's not Jewish. She is a mixture of British-Iranian. I don't like her obsession with the NAZIs. Jan]

Christiane Maria Heideh Amanpour CBE (/ˌkrɪstʃiˈɑːn ˌɑːmənˈpʊər/ (About this soundlisten); Persian: کریستین امان‌پور‎, romanized: Kristiane Amānpur; born 12 January 1958) is a British-Iranian journalist and television host. Amanpour is the Chief International Anchor for CNN and host of CNN International’s nightly interview program Amanpour. She is also the host of Amanpour & Company on PBS.

Early life and education
Amanpour was born in the west London suburb of Ealing, the daughter of Mohammad Taghi and Patricia Anne Amanpour (née Hill).[1][2] Her father was Persian, from Tehran. Amanpour was raised in Tehran until age eleven.[3][4] Her father was Muslim and her mother was Catholic.[1] She is natively fluent in English and Persian.[4]

After completing the larger part of her primary school education in Iran, she was sent by her parents to boarding school in England when she was 11. She attended Holy Cross Convent, an all-girls school located in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire, and then, at age 16, New Hall School, a Roman Catholic school in Chelmsford, Essex. Christiane and her family returned to England not long after the Islamic Revolution began. She has stressed that they were not forced to leave the country, but were actually returning to England due to the Iran–Iraq War. The family ultimately remained in England, finding it difficult to return to Iran.[5]

After leaving New Hall, Amanpour moved to the United States to study journalism at the University of Rhode Island. During her time there, she worked in the news department at WBRU-FM in Providence, Rhode Island. She also worked for NBC affiliate WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island, as an electronic graphics designer.[6] In 1983, Amanpour graduated from the university summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa[7] with a B.A. degree in journalism.[8]
