You might remember her from the hit show 'The L Word'.

Aahoo Jahansouz 'Sarah' Shahi was born in Euless, Texas. Her parents placed her in a couple beauty pageans by the age of 8. In 1997, she won Miss Fort Worth.

For the NFL season of 1999-2000 she joined the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. (She appeared on the cover of the squads 2000 calendar. One thing that is done during the training camp, I would say to break the ice between the girls is to share something about themselves, whether its a secret, a talent or dream.  Check out what she said that stunned all the girls from the squad.

 

 

She then decided to move to California where she was an extra in several movies and television shows. She was on two episodes of 'Reba' where she met her now husband Steve Howey. (Who is hilarious on that show!!) Reba ended in 2007, that same year Howey proposed to Shahi and married in 2009.

 

 

She was on the hit show 'The L Word' during seasons 2-3 and a special appearance on the 6th as DJ Carmen de la Pica Morales. Girlfriend to Shane McCutcheon (played by Katherine Moennig - who is now on Ray Donovan as Lena).

 

 

In 2005, she was ranked #90 on Maxim Magazine's "Hot 100 of 2005", then #66 in 2006 and #36 in 2012.

Husband Steve Howey joined the cast of Shameless in 2010 as Kevin 'Kev' Ball and appeared in last nights episode of 'Sons of Anarchy' as Hopper. (He met up with Bobby, who seems is considering being a nomad and is looking for those 3 guys he needs to develop the group.)

Shahi was featured on the 16th episode (2nd season) of 'Person of Interest' as Samantha Shaw back in February. In May, CBS President announced that Shahi will be added as a series regular for the upcoming 3rd season.
