"Göksel Arsoy, one of the faces of Yeşilçam engraved in our memories and who won the love of generations with her elegance and unforgettable roles, made valuable contributions to our cinema throughout her artistic life. We will always remember our precious artist, winner of the Presidential Culture and Arts Grand Prize, who left his mark with his works ranging from 'Watchmen of the Dawn' to the 'Golden Child' series, with love and respect. May God have mercy on the deceased, patience and condolences to his family, loved ones and our cinema community. I hope he rests in peace."

He stepped into the cinema with "Kara Günlerim"

Göksel Arsoy, who was born in Kayseri on March 15, 1936, worked at Yeşilköy Airport while he was studying at Istanbul University Faculty of Economics.

After attracting the attention of producer Fuat Rutkay and director Sırrı Gültekin, Arsoy stepped into the cinema with the movie "Kara Günlerim" in 1957, and quickly became one of the leading actors of Yeşilçam with the movies "Kelepçe" and "Samanyolu".

Particularly, sharing the leading role with Belgin Doruk in the 1959 movie "Samanyolu" was a turning point in the artist's career. The master artist starred in 15 films with Belgin Doruk. The duo became one of the most beloved movie couples of the period.

In addition to acting, producing also had an important place in Göksel Arsoy's cinema career. Arsoy, who established his own film company and produced 12 productions, brought aviation, which he has been interested in since his childhood, to the cinema. The unforgettable actor both produced and starred in the 1963 "Guardians of Dawn", which he described as one of the first aviation films of Turkish cinema.

In addition to his acting, the artist has gained a unique place in Yeşilçam with his producer identity, musical works and different types of projects he has brought to the cinema.
