The ‘Conan the Barbarian’ actress says her early years were “really idyllic” but she never felt she belonged in the sect because she didn’t want to be subservient to men.
She explained to People magazine: "I've always been who I am. I did not want to be like those women. There were basically there to serve the men sexually.”

The family then moved to America, but the actress admits the shift into mainstream society was difficult.
She said: “It was not an easy assimilation. My brothers and sisters, we thought everyone was boring."
