Biography
From Wikipedia Hümeyra Akbay (Turkish pronunciation: [hymejˈɾaː akˈbaj]) (born 15 October 1947) is a Turkish actress, singer, composer, and lyricist. In the 1970s she was a noted singer and actress. Her popularity with the new generation rose in the 2000s with the sitcom Avrupa Yakası and the feature drama My Father and My Son directed by Çağan Irmak. In the 1970s, her songs "Kördüğüm", "Sessiz Gemi", "Otuz Beş Yaş" were very successful. Her later albums Tutkulardan İntihar, Beyhude were outside the mainstream. "Tutkulardan İntihar" was one of the first examples of Turkish rap songs. She debuted in theater. Her debut acting in a feature film was Talihli Amele. In 1985, with Ferhan Şensoy's "Ortaoyuncular" troupe, she took part in the stage play İçinden Tramvay Geçen Şarkı. In 1986, she won the Golden Orange for Best Supporting Actress Award with her performance in Asiye Nasıl Kurtulur? at Antalya Film Festival. She was also awarded the honorary "Illuminating Apollo" award at the 10th İstanbul International Meeting of Cinema-History in 2007.
