When one thinks of the unforgettable productions in Turkish television history, "Magic Mom" undoubtedly, one of the first names that comes to mind is none other than Inci Turkay.
The acclaimed actor, who graduated from the Theatre Department of Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory, has reached a wide fan base over the years by crowning her career, which began on the theater stage, with television and cinema projects.
The most significant turning point in Inci Türkay's career was the TV show 'Sihirli Annem' (Magical Mom) which began airing in 2003. The fairy character Betüş, whom she brought to life in the series, won the hearts of not only children but also families. With her magic tricks performed by pulling her earlobe, her love for her children, and her warm demeanor, Betüş has become one of the most beloved mother figures in television history, still holding her place in memories despite the passing years.
In recent years, she has revived the character of Betüş in the films 'Sihirli Annem: Hepimiz Biriz' (Magical Mom: We Are All One) and 'Sihirli Annem: Periler Okulu' (Magical Mom: Fairy School), which have brought a wave of nostalgia, uniting both her old fans and the new generation in the same story.
At the height of her career, Inci Türkay made a radical decision and opened a brand new chapter in her life by moving to the UK with her son Ali. In previous interviews, the actress has candidly shared that she left her comfortable life in Turkey behind and started her new life from scratch with just a suitcase in London.
In the early years, Türkay worked in various jobs to make ends meet, but over time she started teaching theater by establishing her own drama school for children. The successful actress, who has never strayed from art, continues to both teach and create on the theater stage today.
Inci Turkay, during her appearance on the program "2Eksik2Fazla", shared a memorable moment from her theatre career in response to the question, "What was the best critique you received throughout your career?"
The acclaimed actor recounted her experience of portraying an extraordinary character in the play 'Sylvia,' which was staged years ago at Tiyatro Istanbul. In the globally renowned work of American author A.R. Gurney, Türkay, appearing as a human on stage, portrayed a dog. She expressed that she spent weeks studying body language, movements, and animal behavior for the role.
Following the play, Haldun Dormen, a doyen of Turkish theater, visited the backstage. He was so impressed by Inci Türkay's performance that he uttered words that he couldn't forget even years later:
'I was playing a dog in the play Sylvia. Haldun Dormen came backstage, tousled my hair, and said, 'You really are a dog.' I had convinced him that I was playing a dog. I think this was a fantastic critique.'
Inci Türkay, who stated that these surprising words at first hearing were the most valuable compliment of her career, pointed out that Dormen was actually emphasizing how convincing her acting was. Türkay, expressing that the greatest achievement an actor can reach is to fully convince the audience and seniors in the profession of the character portrayed, stated that she saw Dormen's words as the most meaningful praise she received in her life for this reason.
