Marjane Satrapi’s books and movies had a HUGE impact on me. I still reread and rewatch all the time. And I genuinely believe that she showed the Western world insight into Iran that they’d never had before. This is a tremendous loss.
![Speaking on why she remained closeted until age 36 and whether she has had relationships with women, Panettiere stated, "Yeah, I did. It was scary, though, because there were paparazzi always waiting for me outside, to follow me everywhere. I had very little privacy. I have dated women. I was much more into women even as a child than I was men. I have explored it, but because I hadn't shared this with anybody, I didn't really have the courage to throw myself fully emotionally into it. Because then if I did fall in love, that wasn't something that I wanted to ever have to hide."[83]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zy6sn6tkic24e6p52g2yh4zn/bafkreiala6xwkfbb5j4tzr7wstxrirp7pdkjhx5c3dm4kcak5vvlt3jupa)
