Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu — Biography

Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu was born on March 20, 1956, in Istanbul's Ortaköy district, the daughter of tax official Servet Şamlıoğlu, later head of the Turkish Court of Accounts, and primary-school teacher Nezahat Şamlıoğlu; she grew interested in theater while at Üsküdar Girls' High School. In 1974 she enrolled at Istanbul University's journalism faculty but left partway through to study languages in Frankfurt, where she performed with amateur theater groups. Back in Turkey she studied architecture at METU before abandoning that too and completing the theater department of Hacettepe University's Ankara State Conservatory in a single external year. She joined Adana State Theatre in 1982 and soon moved to Ankara State Theatre, winning a best-supporting-actress prize in 1988 for Afife Jale. From 1995 she also turned to directing, earning several director-of-the-year honors for productions such as Benimkinin Adı Regine and Pazartesi-Perşembe. A play she wrote, Kaçıklık Diploması, was adapted for film by Tunç Başaran. On television she first became known through Ferhunde Hanımlar and Bizim Evin Halleri, and reached a wider public as Hafize in Yol Arkadaşım. She led the Istanbul City Theatres as general art director from 2009 to 2012, later working in series such as Jet Sosyete, Hizmetçiler, Menajerimi Ara and Yargı, and now teaches acting at Istanbul Aydın University.

Their work through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Ayşenil Şamlıoğlu's comedy work is carried best by Hakan Algül's projects: a line running from the series Avrupa Yakası and Jet Sosyete to the film Eyyvah Eyvah 2. In my view the repetition is no accident; it shows an actor who knows sitcom rhythm moving just as easily into film comedy. There are heavier works too, but comedy looks like her most consistent ground on screen.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

To watch Şamlıoğlu with the family, family series like Bizim Evin Halleri, which aired every weekday, and comedies like Eyyvah Eyvah 2 suit well. Yargı is a legal and crime series with psychological thriller elements, one for the adults.
