Özlem Conker — Biography

Özlem Conker is a well-known Turkish television actress, remembered above all as Nazar in Kınalı Kar, for Karagül and as Bidar Sultan in the period drama Payitaht Abdülhamid. The latest chapter of a career of nearly thirty years is Sevdiğim Sensin, in which she plays Fatoş Parsoğlu.

She began in commercials, appearing in a Metin Özülkü music video in 1996 and, the same year, in a small role in the series Bizim Ev. She then took parts in the TRT1 series Kurşun Kalem and Vasiyet, and in 2001 Vasiyet first brought her wide attention. Her real breakthrough came in 2002 with Kınalı Kar. She then starred opposite Okan Yalabık in the romantic comedies Sensiz Olmuyor and Çapkın, and the years that followed included Rüyalarda Buluşuruz, Oğlum İçin, Bahar Dalları, Ömre Bedel, Aşk ve Ceza and Canan. Karagül, which began in 2013, earned her great acclaim, and from 2017 she was part of the cast of Payitaht Abdülhamid.

She spent some time away from the screen, and in 2022 said she had not given up acting. In 2024 she returned to sets with Kara Ağaç Destanı. Born in Ankara, she completed her studies in the Netherlands, at an institution in Tilburg focused on special education care.

Their work through different eyes

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

The real shift in Özlem Conker's television work comes between the romantic comedies she made opposite Okan Yalabık (Sensiz Olmuyor, Çapkın) and Karagül. As Narin Mercan she gets far harsher ground: women resisting pressure, power struggles inside a family. The weight of that series shows how far she traveled from her comedy years.

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

Özlem Conker's later roles are women who stand close to power. The world of Payitaht Abdülhamid is built around the sultan, and Bidar Kadın Efendi represents the palace side of that circle; Narin Mercan in Karagül lives the same question of power inside one family.
