Multi-lingual model, movie actress, recording artist, and writer... of French nationality -- who claimed to be the grandchild of the Ottoman, Haydar Pasha. The claim was probably a foxy publicity ploy concocted by her manager, Erkan Özerman, and her husband at the time, French photographer Jean Yves Haydar -- which helped her gain a following in Turkey, as a milli gelin (A term used to describe: 1) a foreign female of Turkish descent, or 2) a famous female foreigner who is married to a Turk, or 3) a female foreigner who becomes famous by marrying a Turk.) Christine appeared in just two Turkish movies -- and in both films she spoke (and sang/danced) in what sounded like fluent (slightly accented) Turkish. Her first Turkish movie, made in 1980, was Sarısın Tehlike (Trouble in Blonde) -- starring Cüneyt Arkın and a bevy of well-known Turkish actors of the time including Hadi Çaman, Aynur Akarsu, Yüksel Gözen, Gülten Ceylan -- and Metin Serezli in a dual role. Her second Turkish film was Bedel (The Price), a drama made in 1983 -- directed by Melih Gülgen. Its star-studded cast was led by Kadir İnanır, Bahar Öztan, Ekrem Bora, Sevda Ferdağ and, naturally, Christine Haydar. The caption on Bedel's poster warns, "Everything has a price.

It may have arisen because Haydar's starring role in Sarısın Tehlike included a lengthy scene in which she sang (and did a lot sexier dance to) Ajda Pekkan's 1980 Eurovision Song Contest Winner, Pet'r Oil (Loving On Petrol). And the rivalry may have been fueled by Haydar's unbridled public pronouncements that she was younger than Pekkan (who was 32 at the time she won the Eurovision honors). Take your pick...
