Nejla Ateş, appeared in several Turkish and American films as an actress and dancer. She modeled on the cover of several record albums as well, most famously (or infamously) on Mohammed El-Bakkar's album "Port Said." She also performed on Broadway, in "Fanny" and became known as the "Exquisite Turkish Delight." She died in 1965 from an overdose of barbiturates.

    The statue was commissioned by showman David Merrick to publicize his musical, Fanny, in which Nejla danced briefly. The statue caused a scandal when it was installed in Poet's Corner in Central Park's It was nude. I haven't found any pics of it.

  • I don't know about ...

    I don't know about a statue, but Nejla is mentioned a lot in a book I just finished reading - "Snake Hips - Bellydancing and How I Found True Love" by Anne Thomas Soffee. It was a wonderful book, and WELL worth a read for anyone who has any interest in bellydancing.
