She is part of the cast who appear in all [Uuno Turhapuro](/source/Uuno_Turhapuro) films and TV series. The exception being ''[Uuno Turhapuron veli](/source/Uuno_Turhapuron_veli)'', where the main character Uuno Turhapuro played by [Vesa-Matti Loiri](/source/Vesa-Matti_Loiri) did not appear. Uuno debuted in 1973 in a sketch on the ''[Spede Show](/source/Spede_Show)'', as half of a still nameless couple who had a premature argument about how to use their [lottery](/source/lottery) money. (This sketch was recycled in the film ''[Rautakauppias Uuno Turhapuro - presidentin vävy](/source/Rautakauppias_Uuno_Turhapuro_-_presidentin_v%C3%A4vy)''.) Elisabeth Turhapuro is only daughter of [Councillor Tuura](/source/Councillor_Tuura), the richest man in Finland, and the sharp, fiery and snapping wife of Uuno who has no sense of humor and often gets into arguments with him. == Marriage == As soon as Uuno and Elizabeth were married their marriage ran into trouble. However, although Elisabeth has, in many of her films, threatened her husband with divorce, she has always forgiven him his flaws and defects and the couple has remained married. Her husband, Uuno, believes that she is "withered", and will flirt with other women, which is often the reason for their marital disputes. The real reason Uuno married Elizabeth is because her father, [Councillor Tuura](/source/Councillor_Tuura), is the richest man in [Finland](/source/Finland) and Uuno wants to inherit his wealth when he dies. Marjatta Raita speculated in an interview that the reason why Uuno and Elisabeth stay together has to do with what happens in the bedroom. Elisabeth can sometimes be very violent when upset with Uuno who usually brushes her remarks with an odd explanation which most of the time, in its own odd way, makes sense, leading Elisabeth baffled and unmotivated to continue the argument. == Filmography of character == * ''[Professori Uuno D.G.
