In his book Türk Sinemasında Cinselliğin Tarih (History of Sexuality in the Turkish Cinema)148 film historian Agâh Özgüç 'awards' Müjde Ar the dubious title of En Çok Irzına Geçilen Kadın (The Most-Raped Woman In Turkish Movie History). As exemplary evidence of his claim, Özgüç cites a vicious assault scene from Müjde Ar's Iffet (in which Ar plays a duped innocent in the title-role) and another such scene from Aile Kadın (Family Woman) in which Ar plays Pınar, a happily married woman whose past returns to haunt her with a vengeance. Both films were directed by Kartal Tibet in 1982 and 1983 respectively.

He acted in 15 movies that year, filling increasingly important roles -- and he hasn't looked back since... In a sort of left-handed compliment, Arkın has been called the Alain Delon (b. 1935) of Turkey. But if you compare the range and depth of their movie careers, it's Delon who should take the back seat to Arkın. Consider the career comparisons of these two, still active, film stars -- Appearances as an Actor: Arkın (310) Delon (89); Director: Arkın (38) Delon (3); Screenplay Writer: Arkın (28) Delon (10).

And, Arzu is being stalked surreptitiously...by Cezmi (played by Tolga Savacı), a handsome young drifter (who's the spitting image of Ted Bundy) posing as a free-lance photographer. Cezmi seduces younger sister Sevda and through her he wangles his way to an on-set meeting with Arzu -- and to a very tentative appointment for a free-lance photo-shoot. Waiting until Sevda is off to school one day, Cezmi shows up at Arzu's doorstep unannounced, talks his way inside -- and viciously rapes her. To make matters worse, the public prosecutor deems the evidence of the rape to be problematic -- so Cezmi remains free, and able to strike again... When Cezmi reads that Arzu will be vacationing in Datça before she begins her next movie role, he boards a bus that's Datça-bound...

First Lesbians on Turkish film -- Suzan Avcı and Sevda Nur A Rough Start...Avcı's mother was a Kırımlı Tatar and her father was a Tatar from Kazanlı, near Mersin (İçel), Turkey. Father Yusuf died at age 40 of cirrhosis (which also afflicted Atatürk), when Suzan was just 6 years old. Life became a struggle. But when, at age 9, Suzan saw the silent film Edison'un Hayatı (The Life of Edison), it lit a spark in her imagination and, from that moment, she set her sights on becoming a film-star. After Suzan completed elementary school, her mother (Behiye) moved the family (with 2 younger sisters) to Istanbul, where Behiye and Suzan (aged 12) began work as seamstresses in a textile workshop. When Suzan began making more money than her mother, Behiye quit work to look after her younger daughters full time. Suzan's best friend in the workshop, Ayşe Abla, was also a film buff and told Suzan a wonderful story about the time she saw Rüzgar Gibi Geçti (Gone With The Wind) -- which further inspired young Suzan. In 1948, when Suzan was 13, she saw an advert in Yıldız Mecmuası (Star Magazine)...Director Metin Erksan was looking for a 14-15 year-old brunette to act in his next film. When she went on her own to the screen-test, Suzan got the part -- but her mother withheld permission, putting a wet-blanket on Suzan's dream. Suzan Avcı at 15...

Thanks to HepsiBurada.com It was Zerrin Doğan and Zafir Seba who first brought 'real seks' to Turkish films in 1979 -- with their performances in Öyle Bir Kadın Ki -- A Woman Like That). But, according to Humorist and 'Erotik' Movie Historian, Cihan Demirci, another female actor followed close on their heels... in some ways one-upping Doğan/Seba with her enthusiastic 'real seks' love scenes -- and her taste for the bizarre. In Sevginin Bedeli (The Equivalent of Love), for example, Ay (in the role of Kezban) fantasizes that her dance partner, Zafer Doğan, is a Catholic Priest to whom she confesses her sins. And the sensual penance she accepts from him is straight out of Alex Comfort's Joy of Sex. She pushed the envelope even further in Gece Yaşayan Kadın (Woman Who Lives at Night), Cemile'nin Kaderi (Cemile's Fate) aka Sokak Kızları (Street Girls), and Takma Kafanı (Don't Get Upset or Trouble Yourself) with Harika Öncü, Hakan Özer, Cem Eser, and Çetin Başaran (all films directed by Yavuz Figenli in 1979)... when she introduced Turkish 'erotik' movie audiences to gloves-off grup seks for the first time in their cinematic history.

With 35 films to her credit between 1971 and 1979, Nur Ay (also seen as Nur-Ay and Nuray) didn't hang up her dancing shoes until 1999 (when she was 59 years young) -- in a manner similar to her American 'idol' Candy Barr.
