+'''Kanchanmala (1923-81)'''
+Telugu actress born in coastal AP. Stage star in
+Telugu; then entered cinema at Sagar Studio,
+Bombay, with a minor role in Veer Abhimanyu.
+After her 2nd film, at Calcutta’s Aurora,
+Ahindra Choudhury’s Vipranarayana, broke
+through in H.M. Reddy’s Grihalakshmi,
+where her sexually charged performance as the
+dancer Madhuri next to Kannamba’s role as
+the suffering wife solicited a kind of male
+voyeurism later exploited in Vauhini’s 40s
+socials. Played the victimised wife in B.N.
+Reddi’s nationalist Vande Mataram; also
+appeared in reformist socials by e.g.
+Ramabrahmam (Malapilla, Illalu) and sang
+duets with composer Ogirala in Y.V. Rao’s
+Malli Pelli. Played the major role of the
+wicked stepmother in Gemini’s
+Balangamma, after which a legal dispute with
+the studio boss S.S. Vasan effectively put her
+career in limbo for almost a decade. Her acting
+style was later extended by stars like Kamala
+Kotnis and Bhanumati.
