Türkân Şoray
Türkân Şoray , also Türkan Şoray (born June 28, 1945 in Istanbul ) is a Turkish actress . In Turkey she is traditionally described as Türk sinemasının sultanı ( Sultana of Turkish cinema). She has been a UNICEF ambassador since March 12, 2010 .
Life
After Türkân Şoray graduated from the Fatih Kız Lisesi girls' school , she began her acting career in the early 1960s. The director Türker İnanoğlu helped the then 15-year-old Şoray to get her first film role in the film Köyde Bir Kız Sevdim ( I loved a girl in the village ). He was also the discoverer of her acting talent, which has helped her to a great and glorious career to this day.
Türkân Şoray's breakthrough came in 1964 with her role as Nermin in the film Acı Hayat ( The Bitter Life ), for which she was awarded the prize for the best female leading actress at the 1st Antalya Film Festival . Over a period of over 45 years, she starred in over 200 films and has received other prizes for her portrayals in the course of her career.
In addition to her career as an actress, she also tried her hand as a director and screenwriter, which was ultimately limited to a few films. Whereby she always played the leading role in these films.
Two men were important in Şoray's life. The first was Rüçhan Atlı , an entrepreneur with whom she lived in an illegitimate relationship for 22 years because he was married and refused to divorce because of his only son. Şoray separated from him because of her desire to become a mother and married the theater and film actor Cihan Ünal, from whom she gave birth to their daughter Yağmur Ünal . Yağmur was Cihan Ünal's second daughter , after her stepsister Irmak Ünal (also an actress) from her father's first marriage. Türkân Şoray divorced her husband Cihan Ünal in 1987. Yağmur lived with her mother after her parents divorced.
