The Players: Arzu Okay 3/6
Arzu Okay Takes Off... everything.
As mentioned in Part Two, Arzu Okay's movie career was in for a seismic change after 1973, as she left her teenage years behind...
Until Arzu Okay, Mine Mutlu, and Feri Cansel broke the mold, the casting of 'innocent-looking' actresses in erotic Turkish movie roles was considered unthinkable. In 1974, all three of them took that unthinkable step -- with Arzu Okay in front...a lot more willing than the other two 'innocents' to disrobe and perform in simulated cinsel scenes for the movie cameras.
Arzu Okay's first erotik film appearance in 1974 was in the seks-komedi Aman Ne Gırgır (Oof! How Funny is that!) with a trio of (less-innocent) well-known actresses: Bahar Erdeniz, Mine Soley, and Figen Han -- which was a major box-office success. So 20-year-old Arzu Okay then teamed up with 26-year-old Mine Mutlu (something the two friends would do several times in future) for the block-buster 'erotik'-comedy hit Olmaz Böyle Şey (This Kind Of Thing Isn't Possible).
But, though neither Arzu Okay nor Mine Mutlu reveals any truly 'naughty' body-parts in Olmaz Böyle Şey (unless you count the nearly X-Rated film-segments in which look-alike actresses appear in their stead) -- it certainly wasn't because Okay, in particular, was shy. And she proved that point time-and-again by getting down to the bare essentials in films like Gelinin Ödü Patladı (The Bride Was Scared Out Of Her Wits - 1975), Şipşak Başarım (I Succeed Instantly - 1975), Arzu (Desire - 1976), Sokak Kadını (Street Woman - 1976), Tepedeki Ev (The House On The Hill - 1976), and Vahşi Ve Tatlı (Wild And Sweet - 1978)...to name just a few.
