A stunning color photograph of an Indian actress

A stunning color photograph of an Indian actress

A stunning color photograph of an Indian actress in 31 Dec 1951 issue of LIFE about Asia.


The actress was Begum Para. Film journals of late 40s and early 50s were full of 'bust' talk about her. She was supposed to be 'sex-symbol' of her era. The caption to that photograph (above) mentioned how she 'drew favorable comparisons with Jane Russell' of The Outlaw fame.


 
Para was 24 at that time. Born in around 1927. The photograph did not directly give out her name, it was simply titled 'Movie Queens'
