Ena Begović

Ena Begović (June 16, 1960 in Split – August 15, 2000 in Brač) was a Croatian actress.

Begović discovered her acting talent at an early age and made her first screen appearance in Okupacija u 26 slika, a controversial 1976 film by Lordan Zafranović. The director noticed her talent and cast her in the main female role in his next film, Pad Italije. This debut established Ena Begović as one of the sex symbols of 1980s Yugoslav cinema, a status that she later successfully maintained despite appearing in relatively few films.

In the 1990s she was kept in the public eye more due to her personal life than her acting. In early 1990s, while driving in [Zagreb] , she was involved in a traffic accident resulting in the death of a man.

On August 15 2000, on the island of Brač, a few months after marrying the Croatian businessman Josip Radeljak and a month and a half after giving birth to their daughter, Lana, she was involved (as a passenger) in another traffic accident, a rollover, which claimed her life.

Her sister Mia Begović is also a renowned actress.
