+'''Kalpana (?-1979)'''
+
+
+60s Kannada star who formed the top screen
+duo with Rajkumar in Kannada film history.
+Born in Mangalore. Trained in classical dance
+by Shri Vittal Shetty; stage actress while at
+university in Mangalore with the Bellari
+Lalithamma Nataka Mandali. Started under
+Panthulu’s direction (Saaku Magalu,
+Chinnada Gombe) but Puttanna Kanagal
+moulded her career after her breakthrough in
+his Bellimoda. In several key roles she
+embodied the ‘ woman’ as imaged in the
+Kannada author Triveni’s romantic fictions. Her
+tragic roles (Gejje Pooje, Sharapanjara, in
+Lakshminarayan/Chaduranga socials) helped
+define a cinema derived from popular literature
+(cf. Navya Movement) and pulp fiction. Also
+acted in mythologicals by Hunsur
+Krishnamurthy where her distinctive tragic
+style, (e.g. Shri Kannika Parameshwari Kathe)
+departs from the norms set by her predecessor,
+Leelavathi. Committed suicide in a lonely
+traveller’s bungalow in Gotur, Karnataka.
