Knifed to death on 2 September 1983 in Izmir by her businessman lover/fiancé -- in the presence of her horrified teen-aged daughter Zümrut Cansel (née İlter Özcan). Feri Cansel shared top-billing with Arzu Okay in the 'erotik' comedy movie Ayıbettin/Ayıpettin Şemsettin (Behave Shamefully, Şemsettin) in 1971. Click! Feri Cansel played a significant secondary role in the 'erotik' smash-hit movie Ah Deme Oh De (Don't Say Ah, Say Oh!) starring Sermet Serdengeçti, Mine Mutlu, Arzu Okay, and Ilhan Daner in 1974.

Compare the careers of Feri Cansel and Juanita Dale Slusher (Candy Barr) Feri Cansel's rise to stardom, in her own words There are more pics and gossip about Feri Cansel in the Turkish Who's Who... According to the Sinematürk movies database, Feri Cansel's career spanned 18 years during which she acted in 136 films -- 120 of them listed as belonging in the 'erotik'-films category. So, any way you slice it, Cansel easily wins the career-long title for Most Erotic Turkish Movies Made By An Actor/Actress. But Cansel herself claimed in 1978 that she had already appeared in 350 'erotik' movies by then. So who's right? Erotik movie historian Cihan Demirci149 thinks both numbers can be explained as follows... In too many cases, Demirci says, 'erotik'-genre movie makers didn't respect individual films as single works of art. To these men, each single movie was merely source material for cut-and-paste multiple movie production. Such movies were too often cut-and-pasted together from various other movie parts and released in as many as three different versions. (The most obvious example [that pops to our mind] of this cut-and-paste film-production method is seen in Zerrin Egeliler's films...Take for instance, Şıllık [Painted Jezebel] and its streamlined cousin, Iki Kocalı [The Woman With Two Husbands] -- which both star Egeliler, Hadi Çaman, and Bülent Kayabaş. The former is the fully-plotted version of the movie [made from the original full-featured script], the latter is a shortened cut-and-paste job [that contains but one original scene, involving Hadi Çaman.]) So... Demirci reckons that when Cansel claimed to have appeared in 350 erotik films, she was probably referring to the cut-and-paste versions of those movies in addition to the originals. Therefore, if Cansel originally made 120 'erotik'-genre movies, when you multiply that number by 3 (approximately)... the total count of her 'erotik' movie appearances might easily reach 350. About Cansel's Movies: Benimle Sevişir Misin? (Will you make love with me?) An erotik, murder mystery movie made in 1972.
