Deniz Uğur — Biography

Deniz Uğur was born on October 17, 1973 in Ankara, the only child of opera singer Mete Uğur and ballerina Suna Uğur. Through her father she descends from a grandfather who was a classmate of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and through her mother from a Swiss line related to actor David Bennent. She trained first in ballet and then in theater at Istanbul University State Conservatory, stepping onto the professional stage before graduating in 1995 with Görünmeyen Dostlar at Kenter Theatre, followed the next year by the French comedy Çetin Ceviz.

She appeared in the 1993 series Yaz Evi, and in 1997 won the Promising New Actress award at the 9th Ankara Film Festival for Bir Erkeğin Anatomisi. She became widely known playing Sanem in Adını Feriha Koydum, and went on to roles in Kırgın Çiçekler, İnsanlık Suçu and Zalim İstanbul, the last earning her the Turkish Radio and Television Journalists Association's award for best television actress. Beyond acting she has worked as a columnist, songwriter and screenwriter. A mother of three, she has continued appearing in Börü 2039, Bir Peri Masalı, Cenazemize Hoşgeldiniz, Demir Kadın: Neslican and Karantina.

Their work through different eyes

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

Sanem in Adını Feriha Koydum is the part that introduced Deniz Uğur to a wide audience, in a romantic series that young viewers loved and that sold abroad. In Zalim İstanbul, a drama about two families forced into one house, she is among the lead cast. What interests me, in my view, is the move itself: from youth romance to family tension, along a line where the same actress carries more weight.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Orçun Benli's two films, Bu Son Olsun and Gulyabani, show a side of Deniz Uğur that her series rarely do: one a debut feature that treats the September 12 coup with black comedy, the other a horror-comedy drawn from folklore. Taking parts in two genres this far from television melodrama is, in my view, the most striking choice among her projects.
