Eda Ece is a well-known name among the newer generation of Turkish television and film actors. She is remembered above all as Yıldız Yılmaz in Yasak Elma, the FOX drama that aired from 2018 to 2023, a part that won her the Murex d'Or award for Turkish actress of the year. In 2026 she returned to the big screen as Aslı in Sonunda Sen.

She first appeared on camera as a child, taking small parts in productions such as Mihriban, Hayat Bilgisi, Bez Bebek and Adını Feriha Koydum. Her real breakthrough was the youth series Pis Yedili, created by Gani Müjde, where she played the blonde, straight-talking Cimbom; the part made her a familiar face and brought her the Ayaklı Gazete award for best female lead in a youth series. She then played Zeyno in Beni Böyle Sev and Elif in İlişki Durumu: Karışık. Her first film lead came in Kızım İçin; later she played Ceren in the Kocan Kadar Konuş films and Deniz in Görümce, and her role in Deliha 2 earned a Turkey Youth Awards nomination.

Acting came to her while she was studying psychology: after Şişli Terakki High School, a university stage production at Istanbul Bilgi University caught the eye of the talent manager Tümay Özokur. In 2022 she sat on the jury of the competition show Maske Kimsin Sen?.
