WHO IS JEYAN MAHFİ AYRAL TÖZÜM?

He was born on August 6, 1928 in Istanbul. He started his career at the City Theaters with Ibsen's play Pergünt (Peer Gynt).

1938-1983, yes, I spent 45 years in the theater. I did not choose my profession myself, the profession chose me, as follows; Muhsin Ertuğrul told my father that he was looking for a little girl for a role. My father took me by the hand and took me to the Drama Theater in Tepebaşı to Muhsin Bey. That beginning is exactly 45 years old.

I was not aware of this when my father, Necdet Mahfi Ayral, took me to the theater to work. I was little when I started in the fictional role of Peer Gynt'te-Solveige. I continued both my school and theatre. As the years passed, of course, I first became aware of this when I took on the roles of young girls and young women in children's plays. I loved it very much and embraced my job with all my heart. Theatre; It was at the forefront for me throughout the years I worked. I did voice-over work as a side job and I still do it. I acted in only 8 films, the last of which was Zeki Müren's first film, "Expected Song".

There was no conservatory when I grew up and I did not take theater classes. But I saw such great theater artists that they became both school and theater lessons for me. Being in reciprocity with many of them was the greatest honor. I can list a few of the games I played with these great artists as follows; With Mahmut Moralı; Cokomino Self Gel, Sixth Floor, with Galip Ercan; Aunt's Inheritance, Parisian Girl, with Talat Armeden; Lilyom, with Şaziye Moral; Women, Roots, Among Women, with Necla Sertel; My Three Angels, I Remember My Mother, with Samiye Hün; Çalıkuşu, with Vasfi Rıza Zobu; Domino, Modern Family.

I feel very happy to play with these great masters. My friends know that I was the first to go to the play and rehearsal. I would try to do my job correctly, carefully and well. I remember playing with difficulty, with a fever of 39 degrees and a low voice, so as not to disrupt the game.

But I said a big word; I used to say, “Even if I was 80 years old, I would not quit theater.” However, the depression I experienced after losing my husband, sound engineer Rauf Tözüm, in a traffic accident forced me to leave the theater. I'm sorry now! What a remedy, living conditions made this necessary.
