From the Archives: The Actors Who Made Bollywood in the 1950's

This is just a small selection of the many actors who contributed to making what Indian cinema is today. The Golden Age of Cinema as it is now recognised, brought with it the romance of the times, the idealism, the language and the spirit of freedom that imbued India after Independence. Madhubala, the most beautiful and talented actor ever also had perhaps the shortest, and yet most eventful career. She is still remembered for her grace and beauty, and her youth that made her fall in love with almost every actor she worked with. This From the Archives is dedicated to the stunning beauty whose verve and naivety is still remembered by the few actors like Dilip Kumar who are still alive, and worked with her during the decade that established Bollywood.
