Ena Begović Radeljak (8 July 1960 – 15 August 2000) was a prominent Yugoslav film actress. She is regarded as one of the best and most beautiful actresses in former Yugoslavia. Begović was the older daughter of Terezija and Nikola Begović. She was born in Trpanj, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia (although there are numerous sources that list Split as the place of birth). Three years later, in January 1963, her sister Mia, who is also an actress, was born. Begović began acting early, making her first screen appearance at the age of 18 through a small part in Occupation in 26 Pictures, a 1978 film directed by Lordan Zafranović. She made her breakthrough role in Zafranović's next film, The Fall of Italy (Pad Italije, 1981), where she played Veronika, the daughter of a wealthy local from the Dalmatian coast who sided with the occupying Italian Fascists. This debut established Begović as one of the sex symbols of 1980s Yugoslav cinema, a status that she later successfully maintained despite appearing in relatively few films as her acting career shifted towards theater. In the 1990s, the public focused more of its attention on her personal life than on her acting. On 15 August 2000, in the village of Postira on the island of Brač, a few months after marrying the Croatian businessman Josip Radeljak Dikan, and a month and a half after giving birth to their daughter, Lana, she was involved as a passenger in a traffic accident, a rollover, which claimed her life.
