Film-serial actor Kanakalatha passes away

The Hindu  

Actor Kanakalatha, known for playing supporting characters in films and television serials, passed away here on Monday. Born in Oachira in Kollam district, her acting career, spanning over 300 films in Malayalam and Tamil and several popular television serials, began in her younger days with drama performances. Though the film unfortunately did not get a theatrical release, filmmaker Lenin Rajendran, who was one of its producers, cast her in his film Chillu, which became Kanakalatha’s debut film. When Doordarshan began telecasting television serials in the 1980s, she was one of the earliest to make the shift to television with a lead role in Oru Poo Viriyunnu.
