  "description": "Turkish football player, film director, actor, editor, screenwriter, producer, lecturer and Honorary Professor.\n\nHe graduated from Vefa Lisesi in 1937. In 1938, he dropped out of Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine in the third year of his education.\n\nÜn changed the language of cinema by going beyond the melodrama mould with the film Üc Arkadas in 1958. The film was considered one of the best films of Turkish cinema. Thanks to his success in this film, he was invited to the Film Friends Association and became one of the important directors of Turkish cinema. During this period, he started to live with Fatma Girik and the couple's relationship continued for life.\n\nIn 1960, he started the era of child stars in Turkish cinema history with the film Aysecik. After his success with Aysecik, his partnership with Arsavir Alyanak at Yakut Film ended and he founded Ugur Film.\n\nIn 1990, he made his first self-financed film, Tüm Kapilar Kapaliydi, in which he turned to a subject and cinematography not seen in his previous films. This was followed by the films Gün Ortasinda Karanlik and Zikkimin Kökü, which received many awards. The last film he directed was Sinema Bir Mucizedir (2005), but due to his illness he could not complete the film and handed it over to Tunc Basaran.\n\nHe worked as a lecturer at Mimar Sinan University Cinema-TV Department.\n\nFilm worker Memduh Ün died on 16 October 2015 at the age of 95 in Bodrum where he was being treated.\n\nIMDb mini bio by; yusufpiskin",
