Celebrity Birthday- Ozgu Namal is 30




Though I've seen her in two films ("Buyu" and "Organiz Isler/Magic Carpet Ride"), I was unaware that Turkish actress Ozgu Namal is not only a sensation in Turkey, but she is getting lots of international attention as well.

The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) reported that today is her 30th birthday, which makes her a mere ten days younger than Katie Holmes.

Namal has also starred in "Gunesin Oglu/Children of the Sun," "O Cocuklari/Those Kids," and "Mutluluk/Bliss."

Hopefully, she will continue to garner attention outside of Turkey. To date, very few movie actors, with the possible exception of German-Turkish actress Sibel Kekili ("Head On"), have made names of themselves outside of Turkey or the Turkish diaspora.
