Kelly Rutherford has been and still is a famous celebrity in Turkey. Her role in the short-lived, but highly acclaimed TV series _"Generations" (1989)_ , made an impression in the cultural psyche of the Turkish people so much so that allusions to "Sam," her character, are commonly applied in daily life and if you ask the devout fans they'll readily attribute the success of the drama entirely to her presence. She followed her fame by recording various commercials for the Turkish market, and even appeared in a nationally broadcast music festival. Rutherford's kindness has very much endeared her to the Turkish people.
