She worked for many years in Germany where at one point the studio Tobis Film briefly tried to build her up as a rival to her fellow Hungarian Marika Rökk, then working for UFA.[1] After marrying an Italian she principally settled in that country.

Her sister Ida Turay was also an actress, known for her starring roles in Hungarian films.
