'''Kamal Mitra (1911-93)'''


Bengali actor born in Burdwan. Started in
amateur theatre. Film début with Gunamoy
Bannerjee and in Debaki Bose’s Hindi films.
First major hit: Sat Number Bari, coinciding
with his successes on the professional Calcutta
stage (Seetaram, Tipu Sultan, etc). Acted with
Minerva, Star and Srirangam theatres and in
jatra groups. His tall stature and deep voice
made him a natural for aristocratic patriarchal
roles, e.g. already in his early career he
continued the stereotype of the pipe-smoking
father established by Chhabi Biswas. Later
played several roles as screen villain but acted
heroic roles in mythologicals (e.g. Kangsa,
Mahishasur Badh). Retired in 1981.
Autobiography: Flashback (1989).
