Demet Ozdemir was born in Southern Turkey, close to the border with Greece.

She arrived there in the early eighties and has worked ever since. Demet Ozdemir has appeared in TV shows such as The Mentalist, and also on stage, where she has been successful, but never on a show with a huge following.
Ozdemir has gone through several transformations since her arrival in Hollywood. She was a model before she became an actress and singer, but when she was cast as Demet Ozdemir in the movie Kedi (the same role she played in the Turkish film Gekle Het Darehi) Demet Ozdemir realized she had to use her beauty on the big screen, in order to be recognized by Hollywood and get some work. After many failed attempts, Demet Ozdemir finally landed herself a role on Turkish soap opera Nikiyara (which you may remember from Turkish soap opera Mavo Avtan near Turkey’s borders), where she shined. After that, Demet Ozdemir decided to pursue other acting careers and landed roles in movies such as Big, Minority Report, Demet’s brother Ozcan, as well as in TV series like Friends of the Rock and Collette.
Demet Ozdemir’s first major role was in 1997’s Minority Report, in which she played the lead role, alongside Chris Sarandon, who played the main character, an FBI agent. The movie wasn’t a box office hit, but it did become a favorite amongst critics and audiences. Demet Ozdemir went on to play the lead role in the equally successful searing comedy Swing Vote, which was made by the same people behind Minority Report. She also guest-starred in the movie adaptation of Jeanette Van damme’s novel The Game, and the movie adaptation of the Anne McCaffery book The Delta Force.
After that Demet Ozdemir seemed to lose a few roles, but she landed a role in the popular Turkish soap opera Hrant Gurgen, which was picked up by MTV. The show lasted for two seasons, but the third season was canceled after one episode. However, it was picked up by HD channels. Demet Ozdemir then went on to star in the movie starring Matt Damon as Willy Wonka, and Jack Nicholson as Antony in the movie A Few Good Men.

Demet Ozdemir is currently divorced from her second husband, the film director Orhan Ozdemirs. She has stated that the separation wasn’t amicable and that it was amicable. Orhan was not present when the couple got married, although he was present when they had the hymenogram. The reason why Demet Ozdemir decided to get divorced was to avoid paying taxes on the money that the Ozdemirs obtained via their marriage, according to Turkish law.
