SILK SMITHA DEATH ON: 23 Sep 1996Silk Smitha was born in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, in the year 1960, and was educated up to fourth standard.Her family married her off at a very young age. Due to unbearable ill treatment from her husband and in-laws, she ran away to Madras and started living with an aunt.
Career
she started as a simple make up girl.However, her sultry complexion was soon noticed and she made it to the screen.Later she was discovered by Indian director Vinu Chakravarthy at a flour mill. He renamed her Smitha and his wife taught her English, while she learned dancing from another teacher.Smitha made her debut in the Malayalam film Inaye Thedi in 1979. Owint to her overt sex appeal, she got roles of cabaret dancers and vamp roles and thus got type casted.After garnering much notice and acclaim with her first major role in the Tamil film Vandi Chakkaram, in 1979, Smitha assumed the screen name "Silk", after her character's name in the movie.
Silk Smitha went on to star in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and a few Hindi films. Her dance numbers, semi-nude scenes and bold performances in films like Moondru Mugam made her the ultimate symbol of sensuality in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam cinema.Her dance numbers were so desired that producers were happy to wait for more than six months to get dates, even after completing the film. Her item numbers in films like Amaran were also celebrated at the box office. Some film critics, historians and journalists have referred to her as a "soft porn" actress.A vast majority of her movies are softcore and a common theme is her playing a freakishly strong agent in skimpy bikinis beating up huge thugs. From Shivaji Ganeshan and Kamal Hasan to Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi, there was not a single actor, who wanted their films to be released without Silk's name on the poster.
Mysterious Death
But the success did not last for long.Her stardom couldn't remain eternal.Her Life soon became devoid of friends and lonely .Smitha was found dead in her Chennai apartment.
