Editor's Take:

Bergüzar Korel grew up in a film family but made her own name through television. Binbir Gece cast her as a widow who strikes a painful bargain with her boss to save her son. The drama made her and co-star Halit Ergenç famous across the Middle East and the Balkans. The pair later married. She went on to lead the period drama Vatanım Sensin. Her career is closely tied to the rise of Turkish drama as an export.
