@@ +1 @@
+'''Madhubala (1933-69)'''
+
+
+Screen name of the Hindi-Urdu actress Begum
+Mumtaz Jehan. Born in Delhi, she started as
+Baby Mumtaz at Bombay Talkies (Basant).
+Her first major hit was in Kidar Sharma’s Neel
+Kamal, starring opposite Raj Kapoor, but her
+distinct persona was concretised in Lal Dupatta
+and in Kamal Amrohi’s ghost story, Mahal,
+playing the gardener’s daughter. Often acted
+with Dilip Kumar, e.g. Amar and her most
+famous performance as Anarkali, ‘the living
+creation of Mughal sculptors’, in Mughal-e-
+Azam. Her most durable reputation rested on
+musical comedies, esp. with her husband
+Kishore Kumar (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi,
+Dhake Ki Malmal, Half Ticket, Jhumroo) and
+in Guru Dutt’s Mr and Mrs ’55. Also played
+in Shakti Samanta (Howrah Bridge) and
+Dev Anand (Kala Pani) whodunits.
+Produced D.N. Madhok’s Naata through her
+own Madhubala Co. Often nostalgically
+considered the greatest and most glamorous
+star of the 50s Hindi musical, probably because
+she died before she was relegated to
+supporting roles like Nutan and Waheeda
+Rehman. Had started directing Farz Aur Ishq
+just before she died.
