Muhterem Nur

She was born as Aysel Kısa on December 31, 1932, in Bitola (Turkish: Manastır), Vardar Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Later, due to financial problems, the family moved in 1942 to Istanbul to live in a small house at Eyüp district.

[2] In 1982, she met Müslüm Gürses (1953–2013), a talented folk singer at that time, during a concert tour in Malatya, where she shared the stage with him.

[4] Muhterem Nur debuted in cinema as a background actress in the 1951 movie, Yıldızlar Revüsü ("Revue of Stars").

In the film directed by Memduh Ün, which became very successful, she shared the lead role with Fikret Hakan (born 1934).

Thanks to her baby like face and naive acting artistry, she was rooted suddenly in the hearts of cinema fans, and climbed up the ladders very quickly.

Even though it is not documented, she is one of the most important female figures of Turkish cinema due to the box office record of her films shot in the 1950s and 1960s.
