Nur Fettahoğlu — Biography

Nur Fettahoğlu is an actress who stands out in Turkish period and family dramas. Peyker Yöreoğlu in Aşk-ı Memnu introduced her to a wide audience, and abroad she is best known as Mahidevran Sultan in Muhteşem Yüzyıl. She continues to appear in television and film projects.

Her career began away from the screen. Born in Duisburg, Germany, she returned to Istanbul with her family at three, studied fashion design at Haliç University, worked in banking and presented stock-market news on Sky Türk. She moved into acting in 2007 with Benden Baba Olmaz and Gönül Salıncağı, and also appeared in commercials. Aşk-ı Memnu was her breakthrough, followed by a shared lead with Necati Şaşmaz in Kurtlar Vadisi Filistin. Mahidevran in Muhteşem Yüzyıl was the turning point: it brought her several supporting-actress awards and international recognition.

After that success she played the associate professor Şafak Günay in Hayat Yolunda, Süreyya in Filinta and Umay Karay in Kardeş Çocukları, and appeared in series such as Payitaht Abdülhamid, Fi, Babil, Kağıt Ev and Darmaduman. On film she has had roles in Gişe Memuru, İyi Adamın 10 Günü and Sadık Ahmet.

Their work through different eyes

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

The turning point for Nur Fettahoğlu is Muhteşem Yüzyıl: in a story centered on Suleiman and Hürrem, Mahidevran Sultan brought her several supporting-actress awards and recognition abroad. Peyker Yöreoğlu Önal in Aşk-ı Memnu was her first big breakthrough in a contemporary family drama.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The women in Nur Fettahoğlu's period series, Mahidevran Sultan and the Abkhazian Princess in Payitaht Abdülhamid, are women of the palace world. It is the one mold that recurs in her work, and in my view a contemporary, psychological-thriller part like Eda Saygun in Babil is more interesting precisely because it takes her outside it.
