Noor Razooky was born and raised in the picturesque city of San Diego, California, to parents who had made the bold move of immigrating from Iraq. This cultural heritage has had a profound impact on Noor's life, as she is fluent in Arabic and a dialect of Aramaic, a language spoken by the ancient Mesopotamians. Her parents' diverse backgrounds have also influenced her identity, as she is of Chaldean descent, a group known for their rich cultural heritage and linguistic traditions.
Noor's father, a physics teacher, played a significant role in shaping her passion for education, while her mother, a former model and jewelry designer, and her grandmother, the former head costume designer at The Baghdad School of Music and Ballet, inspired her creative spirit. This unique blend of intellectual curiosity and artistic expression has contributed to Noor's well-rounded personality and driven her to pursue a variety of interests.
Noor's academic pursuits took her to San Diego State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in International Security & Conflict Resolution. Her academic endeavors also led her to the University of Oxford, where she studied International Relations during a winter abroad program. Concurrently, Noor's passion for acting led her to pursue roles in various productions, including a leading role in the feature film "Continuance," which earned her a best actress nomination at the San Diego Film Awards. She made her television debut as Young Khadija in FX's acclaimed series "The Old Man," starring Jeff Bridges.
