@@ +1 @@
+'''Jayalalitha Jayaram (b. 1948)'''
+
+
+Tamil, Telugu and Kannada star, now better
+known as a politician. Born in Mysore, the
+daughter of screen star Sandhya. Learnt the
+Bharat Natyam. Claims that she wanted to
+study law, but dropped out of school to follow
+her aunt Vidyavati (who acted in e.g. En
+Veedu/Naa Illu, 1953) into films to support
+her family. Début in Shankar V. Giri’s English
+film Epistle. Early career in Kannada where her
+second film, Chinnada Gombe, was a major
+hit. Introduced to Tamil by C.V. Sridhar
+(Vennira Adai). Telugu début in Manasulu
+Mamathalu, but became a star in that language
+playing the vampish lead in G. Krishna’s
+James Bond-type hit Goodachari 116. First film
+with MGR, the star most closely associated
+with both her cinematic and political careers, is
+Panthulu’s Ayirathil Oruvan, followed by
+M.A. Thirumugham’s Kannithai. She is a
+crucial element in MGR’s films, esp. 1968-70
+when she was at the pinnacle of her career and
+featured in almost every MGR film, usually to
+allow the proletarian hero to move across class
+barriers (e.g. Nam Naadu, Mattukkara
+Velan). Left films about the same time as MGR,
+after which she wrote for Cho’s fortnightly
+Tughlaq until MGR made her an important
+member of his All-India Anna Dravida
+Munnetra Kazhagam (1981). After MGR’s death
+became embroiled in a bitter rivalry with
+MGR’s wife V.N. Janaki over the leadership of
+the party, which she eventually led to victory,
+becoming Chief Minister (1991-6). She was
+briefly imprisoned after her electoral defeat in
+1996 for possessing ‘wealth disproportionate to
+her known sources of income’. Made a
+comeback in films playing ‘herself’ 
+(as a politician/Chief Minister) in Neenga Nalla
+Erukkanum, delivering a message on
+prohibition.
