The Undisputed Queen of
'erotik' Turkish Movies
- Zerrin Egeliler -
Born Istanbul 1952, real name:
Hatice Egeliller
(hah-tee-jeh eh-gheh-lee-lehr)
A movie poll conducted in February 2008 by Sinematik - Alternatif Sinema Kültürü Blogu (the respected Turkish-language Turkish-movies blog) posed its
members the question: "Who is the most important 'erotik' female film star in the cinematic history of Turkey?" And, the results weren't even close -- with Zerrin Egeliler
attracting a whopping 46% of movie poll-takers votes. Trailing far behind Zerrin Egeliler came Arzu Okay (31%) and Feri Cansel (19%)... with famous names like Mine
Mutlu, Alev Altın, Melek
Görgün, Zerrin Doğan, Seyya
l Taner, Figen Han, Gönül Hancı, Mine
Soley, Sehe
r Şeniz, and Ceyda Karahan -- all being left in the cinematic dust. (See the movie
poll chart, above right, for details.)
Legendary Star of the 'erotik' Turkish Cinema
Zerrin Egeliler sported turgid half-inch-long mammilla -- which became her cinematic trademark and caused audiences to give her the nickname, Zerrin Memeliler). She set a couple of Turkish erotik movie records that are unlikely to be broken, ever -- and left her mark on Turkish sexuality forever. One of the records she didn't break in her abbreviated film-making career was the one for most erotik film-appearances. That 'honor' belongs to Feri Cansel with 136 films to her credit -- compared to only 64 films for Egeliler. But, Egeliler made the vast majority of her erotik movie appearances in just 2-years time -- with a record-setting 21 films in 1978, and a self-record-breaking 37 films in 1979. The latter record still stands. In only one respect, really, might Zerrin Egeliler be faulted as an erotik 'artiste' (if we may use the term) -- and if we can believe the truth of her claims. What she claims is that... she never had real-seks on camera -- that all of her erotik movie-scenes were 'simulated'.
Well maybe... but let's discuss that claim further in Erotik Movies, Part 2 - Zerrin Zaps Zonguldak.
