Sibel Kekilli (born June 16, 1980 in Heilbronn, West Germany) is a German actress of Turkish descent.

She began acting in adult movies; her first non-porn film role was as the co-star of Fatih Akin's acclaimed 2004 movie Gegen die Wand, released under the title Head-On in English-speaking countries. It was reported at the time that she got the break because the casting director couldn't find any non-porn Turkish-German actresses who were willing to do the nudity and (simulated) sex scenes required for the part. In 2006, she was in both the Turkish coup film Eve Dönüş as an official's wife and the Holocaust film Der letzte Zug as a Jewish woman on her way to a concentration camp. She won the Best Actress Lola for her role in the 2009 film Die Fremde.

She was quite upset when the German press began to report on her pornographic past around the time she started winning acting accolades, equating it to a "smear campaign". Due to this, her parents disowned her. She has also indicated domestic abuse occurred often in her family, but didn't go into detail.

Biography

Sibel Kekilli was a German actress of Turkish descent best known to American audiences for her role as Shae on HBO's "Game of Thrones" (2011- ). Having been born and raised to Turkish parents in the small German city of Heilbronn, Kekilli never felt like she entirely fit in with her fellow countrymen. Thus, at the age of 16, she left town and moved to the city of Essen, where she took on a stream of odd jobs that included waitressing, working as a shop assistant, even acting in adult films, which would later come back to haunt her. It was in 2002 that while strolling in a shopping mall in Cologne that a casting agent spotted the strikingly beautiful Kekilli and encouraged her to audition for a new movie he was working on. The film was called "Head-On" (2004) and after a lengthy auditioning process, Kekilli won the part of an emotionally disturbed Turkish-German woman who falls in love with a widower. The film was well received upon its release, even earning Kekilli a Lola Awar
