Zuhal Olcay (Turkish pronunciation: [zuˈhal olˈdʒaj]; born 10 August 1957) is a Turkish actress and singer.

Biography

Graduated from Ankara State Conservatory in 1976, she first started as a stage actress. Since 1983 she also started being a film actress and became famous with films like "Amansız Yol", "Kurşun Ata Ata Biter", "Bir Avuç Gökyüzü", "Halkalı Köle", and "Dünden Sonra Yarından Önce". In 1989 she started a successful singing career.

In 2018, she was sentenced to 10 months in prison for insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. She had reportedly revised the lyrics to the song "Boş Vermişim Dünyayı" (I Let Go of the World), to say "Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it’s all empty, it’s all a lie, life will end one day and you’ll say 'I had a dream.'” A lawsuit was filed against her by the Istanbul Prosecutor's office for insulting the president during a concert in 2016, seeking a four-year prison sentence.[1]

Olcay was previously fined 10,620 lira ($2,708) for "insulting a public servant" in 2010.[2]
