Adile Naşit’s 86th birthday
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today we celebrate Turkish actress Adile Naşit, who is remembered fondly as “the funny lady.” Naşit starred in the important Turkish films Neşeli Günler and Hababam Sınıfı (The Chaos Class) alongside her frequent co-star, Münir Özkul. She is best remembered for reading bedtime stories to the children of Turkey through her children’s program, Uykudan Önce or “Before Sleep.” On what would have been her 86th birthday, we remember Naşit and her infectious laugh.
