At the age of 13, he participated in a competition organized by Yıldız magazine and the prize he won was to star in a movie by Metin Erksan. However, his mother did not allow this opportunity.

Suzan, who stepped into the world of cinema in 1956, became known for her portrayals of evil characters, especially in Yeşilçam films. The actress, who adopted the image of "Vamp Woman", made a big impact with the movie "The Cliffs of Lust" in 1962. The kissing scene he performed with Sevda Nur in the movie "Tiki Gemi Yan Yana" in 1963 was one of the sensations of that period.
