Even before studying theatre for a year at the age of 10, which led to her first appearance on stage, playing two diametrically opposed characters in the same play, she knew very clearly that she wanted to be an actress.
Although later she chose to study English-Turkish Interpretation and Translation in college, her passion for acting never stopped haunting her, so she had three years of theatre, acting and art classes at The Studio Players in Istanbul, where she performed multiple times with the ensemble. She also acted in various TV series, commercials, a short film and worked with international film festivals hosting esteemed guests such as the late Golden Globes President Lorenzo Soria. From 2021 onwards, she began wearing other hats as a judge and jury member for festivals such as FilmQuest and the World Monologue Film Festival, and started doing voice-over acting as well.
Duru Yücel’s most recent cinematic venture is We Put the World to Sleep, an independent feature film 9 years in the making she stars in and also produced. Directed by Adrian Țofei, the movie is the second part of their spiritual trilogy.
Duru adores jazz and has a demo album of ten classical jazz songs which has received praise from various international music authorities and fans alike. Traveling, spending time in nature, swimming, learning about the ways of the world and the causes she might have the privilege to support, the topics of literature, painting, architecture, health, psychology, spirituality, science and history are among her interests.
