She grew up in a family with a religious background.[4] During her childhood, her family lived in Findikzade, where she was surrounded by French nannies.[4] Her grandfather was a Sheikh Al Islam, an advisor to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V.[5] According to the Atlanta Constitution, her grandfather was a conservative mighty religious man who kept her secluded from the public in a palace in order to hide her beauty from the public.[5] Only as after the establishment of Turkey, the environment for women became more liberal, she was allowed to interact with the public with the consent of her grandfather.[5] He father was approached several times in order to allow her to compete in the beauty which he finally allowed in 1932.[5] She participated 1932 in the Miss Turkey beauty pageant which since 1929 was organized by the newspaper Cumhuriyet.[6] She was elected the most beautiful Turkish woman in the contest held on July 2, 1932, in İstanbul among eight candidates. Keriman Halis was sent then to the International Pageant of Pulchritude contest held in Spa, Belgium to represent Turkey. On July 31, 1932, she finished first among competitors from 27 countries, achieving Turkey's first title at an international beauty contest after three years only of its existence and less than a decade after the founding of the Republic.[7] In 1933 she visited Egypt in a tour organized in cooperation with the Turkish Embassy in Egypt.[6]

Personal life[edit]

Her uncle was a renowned operetta composer, Muhlis Sabahattin Ezgi and her aunt a well-known musician and composer Neveser Kökdeş. Her brother is one of the former presidents of the Turkish sports club Galatasaray S.K., Turgan Ece. She was fluent in French and Turkish.
