The mysterious "Afghan girl" whose direct gaze intrigued the West for so long Sharbat Gula. She in a remote region of Afghanistan with her husband and three daughters.

Matson said that when he compared the photograph of the woman with that of the girl, he was certain it the same person. "The irises of the eyes, the moles and scar on the face-all indicated this was the person we were looking for," he said.
