Manorama is a veteran Tamil actress who has acted in more than 1500 films, 1000 stage performances, and a few television serials.She started her acting career as a drama artist, which was more popular those days. She slowly migrated from dramas to cinemas just as most actors did those days. During her initial days in the cine field, she concentrated more on comedy. She was given equally challenging roles alongside the well known comedian Nagesh. They made an excellent pair and received many praiseworthy comedies. Her role in Thillana Mohanambal was much appreciated and noticed even with the presence of great stalwarts like Sivaji Ganesan and Natiya Peroli (Danseuse) Padmini in the movie. Ever since, she was provided with more scope in varied roles in addition to comedy. She took each responsibility with such an ease which made the Tamil industry recognize her immense talent. She has the distinction of having acted with five chief ministers of South India. She was the female lead in the stage plays written, directed and acted by Mr C. N. Annadurai, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. She has also acted in stage plays with another Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr M Karunanidhi. She has acted in films with Dr M G Ramachandran and Dr Jayalalitha Jayaram who both became Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu later. She has also acted in Telugu films with Dr N T Rama Rao, who became the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.- Handsome second lead actor, briefly under contract to Universal-International in the mid-1950s. He was born John Papiro of Italian ancestry on 23 February 1934 to Guido and Frances M. Papiro in Los Angeles, California. Following a stint in the army, Papiro adopted the stage moniker Race Gentry (purportedly because he liked fast cars) and embarked on a brief acting career on screen. He made his debut as the younger version of gunslinger John Wesley Hardin (the older played by Rock Hudson) in the heavily romanticized western The Lawless Breed (1952). In another tepid horse opera, Black Horse Canyon (1954), he joined forces with fellow rancher Joel McCrea , competing with a neighbouring rival over the possession of a wild black stallion. Gentry also popped up in a couple of war pictures before devoting his energy to acting on the small screen. His motion picture swansong was Thunder in Carolina (1960), as a cocky young stock car racer mentored by veteran driver Rory Calhoun. For this effort, he changed his name again -- to John Gentry (not to be confused with the British racing engineer of that name). After a few more guest roles on TV, Gentry departed the scene in 1966 to be heard from no more.
