Şehnaz Dilan, Kemal Sunal's Co-Star In Yoksul, Is Photographed In Istanbul At 66
Şehnaz Dilan played Leyla in Yoksul, the comedy led by Kemal Sunal. Before she stepped into Yeşilçam, as Turkey's classic film industry is known, Şehnaz Dilan played football in İzmir. Some viewers also remember her as the Woman in Red in Aşık Oldum. Now 66, the actress was recently photographed in Istanbul.
Şehnaz Dilan played football in İzmir before she stepped into Yeşilçam.
Known to audiences as Leyla from Yoksul, Şehnaz Dilan had a very different career before cinema. Her real name is Şehnaz Vreskala, and she was born in İzmir in 1960. At a young age she played for İzmir Filizspor, one of the pioneering clubs of women's football, and rose to team captain. The club's honorary president was Filiz Akın, one of the unforgettable names of Yeşilçam.
Şehnaz Dilan also worked as a photo model during her football years. In 1982 she moved to Istanbul and turned her focus to cinema. Within a few years she was in front of the camera with names such as Şener Şen and Kemal Sunal.
Some remember her as the Woman in Red from Aşık Oldum, others as Leyla from Yoksul.
In Aşık Oldum, where she appeared with Şener Şen, Şehnaz Dilan played the Woman in Red. It was one of the characters the actress still joked about years later. In Yoksul, with Kemal Sunal, she is remembered as Leyla, the fiancée of the character played by Kemal Sunal.
Kızlar Sınıfı and Umut Sokağı were also among the productions Şehnaz Dilan appeared in during her Yeşilçam years. She kept acting in later years as well and was part of the cast of Sir-Ayet: Ölü Doğan in 2021.
Şehnaz Dilan, now 66, was photographed in Nişantaşı in early November.
Chatting with reporters, Şehnaz Dilan was asked about Ediz Hun's remark that 'Yeşilçam is over now.' The actress said she was a little hurt by those words, stressed that her generation is the last generation of Yeşilçam, and said: 'We are not dead yet.'
