Selda Alkor (born January 3, 1943) is a Turkish actress, beauty pageant titleholder, painter, and singer of Circassian and Georgian descent.[1][2] She received a Golden Orange in 2002. Her acting skills and European features made her one of the most in-demand Turkish actresses in the early 1970s.[1][3] With marked Circassian characteristics, Alkor was famous for her tall height, natural blonde hair, fair skin, and light green eyes.[1][3] Due to her portrayal of Sümbül Karadağ on the primetime ATV series Asmalı Konak, she was nicknamed "Hanım Ağa", old Turkish for matriarch. Alkor served as presidents of various foundations, including TÜRKSAV and SODER.
