Jean Beaini was born in London, England in 1956. She graduated from performing arts school in 1976 and began her dance career with the National Ballet of Iran just before her twentieth birthday. She performed in Iran, England and across the United States of America. Jean moved back to England in 1996, with her husband and children. She now lives in a tiny house in Buckinghamshire where she enjoys the English Springtime, spending time with her family and friends, writing, and curling up with a good book and a large mug of Earl Grey tea.
