Lee Grant (born October 31, 1926) is an American stage, film and television actress, and film director. She was blacklisted for 12 years from film work beginning in the mid-1950s, but worked in the theatre, and would eventually win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Felicia Karpf in Shampoo (1975).
Lee Grant was born Lyova Haskell Rosenthal in New York City in 1926,[1] the daughter of Witia (née Haskell), an actress and teacher, and Abraham W. Rosenthal, a realtor and educator. Her father was born in New York, to Polish Jewish immigrants, and her mother was a Russian Jewish immigrant.[2] The family resided at 706 Riverside Drive in upper Manhattan.[3]
At the age of four, she debuted in a show at the Metropolitan Opera, and when she was eleven she joined the American Ballet.[4]
She attended Art Students League of New York, Juilliard School of Music, The High School of Music & Art, and George Washington High School all in New York City.
Grant graduated high school at the age of fourteen, receiving a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, and studied under Sanford Meisner. She subsequently enrolled in Actors Studio in New York.[1]
Grant established herself as a dramatic method actress on and off Broadway, earning praise for her role as a shoplifter in Detective Story, in 1949. She made her film debut two years later in the film version (Detective Story), receiving her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination, and winning the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.[5] She was a regular on the CBS soap opera, Search for Tomorrow in the early 1950s.
She was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities to testify against her husband, the playwright Arnold Manoff, father of her two children, but refused to testify; she also gave an impassioned eulogy at the memorial service for actor J. Edward Bromberg whose career (and some would say life) was cut short by the blacklist. She was subsequently blacklisted for twelve years, during which she found work in theater and teaching acting classes. Composer Burt Bacharach, who considered Grant "a brilliant actress," notes that "she suffered for her political beliefs for a long time because that was such a terrible period in the history of our country."[6]
Her first major achievement after that period was in the 1960s television series Peyton Place, as Stella Chernak, for which she won an Emmy. In 1967, Grant appeared in an episode of Mission Impossible, portraying the wife of a U.S. diplomat who goes undercover to discredit a rogue diplomat. That same year she played the distraught widow of the murder victim in the Oscar-winning In the Heat of the Night.
She received subsequent Academy Award nominations for the dramas The Landlord (1970) and Voyage of the Damned (1976). Her acting range extended into comedy equally well, notably in several roles as an overbearing mother. In Plaza Suite (1971), a comedy directed by Arthur Hiller and written by Neil Simon, she played the harassed mother of a bride, with Walter Matthau as the father. The film was followed by another comedy role as the mother in Portnoy's Complaint (1972).
She won an Oscar for the comedy Shampoo (1975), for Best Supporting Actress. The film received mixed reviews but was considered "Columbia's biggest hit in the studio's 50 year history."[7] Actor Bruce Dern, who played alongside her in The Big Town (1987), recalls working with her: "Lee Grant is a fabulous actress. Anytime she works it's a blessing you have her in your movie."[8]
Grant is the only Hollywood actress of her generation to successfully move into directing.[1] She directed the stage play, The Stronger in 1976, written by August Strindberg. In 1980 she directed her first film, Tell Me a Riddle, a story about an aging Jewish couple. She also directed several documentary films, including Down and Out in America (1986) which won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature. That same year she directed Nobody's Child, a TV movie, starring Marlo Thomas, "in the performance of her career,"[1] about a woman confined to a mental institution for 20 years. For her direction, Grant became the first female director to win the Directors Guild of America Award.[1]
In recent years she directed a series of Intimate Portrait episodes for Lifetime Television, that celebrated a diverse range of accomplished women. Admiring her directing and acting skill, actress Sissy Spacek agreed to act in Hard Promises "only to work with Grant," although she was later replaced as its director.[9]
In 1971, Grant appeared in the Columbo episode "Ransom for a Dead Man"', for which she was nominated for an Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actress - Miniseries or a Movie. Having been nominated for two performances in the same acting category, she received the award for her other Emmy-nominated performance in the television film, The Neon Ceiling. The only other nominee was Colleen Dewhurst; in Grant's acceptance speech, she wryly noted "I must thank Colleen Dewhurst since it takes two of me to equal one of her."
She had her own sitcom, Fay, which was canceled after only eight episodes. She made a guest appearance on Empty Nest, in which her daughter Dinah Manoff co-starred. In 1988, she was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award for outstanding women who, through their endurance and the excellence of their work, have helped to expand the role of women within the entertainment industry.[10]
In 1992, she played Dora Cohn, the mother of Roy Cohn, in the biographical made for TV film Citizen Cohn, which garnered her yet another Primetime Emmy Award nomination. In 2001, Lee Grant portrayed Louise Bonner in David Lynch's critically acclaimed Mullholland Drive. From 2004-2007, Carlin Glynn, Stephen Lang, and Grant served as co-artistic directors for the Actors Studio.
In 2013, she returned to the stage, after a nearly 30-year-absence, to star in The Gin Game, part of a benefit for improvement programs at Island Music Guild. Grant plays Fonsia Dorsey opposite Frank Buxton as Weller Martin and her daughter Dinah Manoff directs the production.[11]

""If our Love is based on Conditions, Expectations, and Things, We are on the road to failure. If our Love is based on Unconditional Love and Acceptance, We are Crossing the Bridge to Happiness." ~ Tom Baker"
"They say "never burn a bridge, because you never know when you may have to cross it again." Some bridges are so unsteady that we not only need to burn it, but blow it up and if you ever have to go that way again, take a chance swimming with the alligators. At least you know you're in danger and so you will be more aware of your surroundings."
"People will sometimes use you as an scapegoat they will blame you for what they did to escape from the pain and you will have another bridge to burn."

Britain launches genome database for patients' DNA
Published on Dec 10, 2012 8:41 AM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Up to 100,000 Britons suffering from cancer and rare diseases are to have their genetic codes fully sequenced and mapped as part of government plans to build a DNA database to boost drug discovery and development.
Prime Minister David Cameron said on Monday that he wanted Britain to "push the boundaries" of scientific research by being the first country to introduce genetic sequencing into a mainstream health service.
His government has set aside 100 million pounds (S$196 million) for the project in the taxpayer-funded National Health Service (NHS) over the next three to five years.
"Britain has often led the world in scientific breakthroughs and medical innovations, from the first CT scan and test-tube baby through to decoding DNA," he said in a statement.

My husband has been vacationing in this part of Ft. Myers Beach for over 25 years, and our own family has built many wonderful memories at the Sandarac.
The Sandarac has a great location on the island. In addition to being located directly on the beach, there are many dining, shopping and other attractions within walking distance.
The Sandarac is beautifully maintained. The grounds include tropical landscaping that make it a great escape for this couple from Cincinnati, OH!
Ft. Myers Beach is easily accessible via the Regional South West airport (RSW) or via interstate. The area is far enough south that we can enjoy winter vacations to escape the cold. Over the years, we have visited the Sandarac in every season and always enjoy the sunshine, blue skies, palm trees and white, sandy beaches!
We love dining or having our morning coffee on the lanai, where we can enjoy the gulf views. After a quick trip to the grocery store, we do not use the car at all! The condo is on the prettiest, widest part of the beach, and we love to just relax and spend time with our family on the beach or at the pool. Several restaurants are within walking distance, as are shops and a drugstore to restock on any essentials! The trolley stops right in front of the condo and goes all along the beach. Our family loves to take the trolley to Times Square to watch the entertainment, walk along the pier, have dinner or browse the shops! We love this location and all of the amenities it has to offer - whether you want to relax or go, go, go - this property has everything you need!
Lover's Key state park is close by and features a beautiful beach, canoeing, kayaking, biking and hiking trails and is one of the best areas for birding in South West Florida. Visitors may also encounter Bottlenose Dolphin or West Indian Manatees while in the park. Ft. Myers Beach also offers a Times Square area with shopping, restaurants & entertainment, a Casino Boat for a night out, and an Express Boat to Key West for a daytime adventure

A closure for mating with a container has a threaded finish. The closure comprises a flange and a skirt downwardly depending therefrom. The skirt includes a deformable element formed of a different material than that of the flange and skirt and disposed on an interior surface. The deformable element inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the container, and accordingly deforms upon mating the closure with the container. The container threads impress threads into the deformable element to form threads on the closure. The deformable element is formed of a suitable material. The closure of the present invention provides for the use of high-speed press-on capping equipment.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/270,757 filed Feb. 22, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to container closures, and more particularly to closures having threads formed thereon and related methods.
Conventional injection molded, plastic closures often include a circular top member, a cylindrical skirt that depends downwardly from the top member, threads formed on the interior of the skirt, and a tamper evident band formed on a lower rim of the skirt. Typically, such closures are molded in a one-step process such that the top member, skirt, and threads are integrally formed. Closures having threads integrally molded as part of the skirt typically require a rotary capper operation to twist the threaded closure onto matching threads on the container finish. A conventional rotary capper process is relatively slow and requires expensive machinery compared with commercial, high-speed, conventional press-on or in-line capper technology.
Conventional composite closures typically include a metal panel for covering and sealing to a container rim and a threaded plastic band for coupling to mating container threads. U.S. Pat. No. 5,685,443 discloses embodiments of such a band that may be pressed-on and twisted-off
Another type of conventional closure is formed of an integral metal top member and metal skirt. A particular type of metal skirt is formed with a smooth, cylindrical sidewall. A liquid or flowable material, such as plastisol, is subsequently applied to the skirt inner wall, usually by spraying while the closure is spinning. The plastisol, or like material, is formed on the skirt sidewall by a process that includes baking, curing, or a similar treatment step. U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,177 discloses a press-on, twist-off metal closure having a conventional lining into which threads are formed by the container thread, and requires a baking or curing step.
Further, the baking or curing process makes it difficult or infeasible to provide such a metal closure with an integrally formed, frangible tamper evident band of the type that depends from the bottom of the skirt and detaches upon removal of the closure from the container. Although the metal top member may include a button-type tamper evident feature, for hot-fill applications, it is often preferable to employ a frangible, tamper evident band. For example, the U.S. Pat. No. 5,190,177 patent discloses that the tamper evident band is formed by a separate security ring that is fitted into an annular shoulder formed on the peripheral skirt.
Thus, there is a need for improved closures, and techniques for forming closures.
The present invention relates to container closures, methods and molding systems for molding closures, and methods for combining containers and closures to form packages, including but not limited to hermetically sealed packages. According to an aspect of the present invention, a closure is provided that mates with a container having a finish that includes threads formed thereon. The closure comprises a flange; a skirt depending downwardly from a periphery of the flange and a deformable element disposed on an interior surface of the skirt that is deformable by the container threads to impress a closure thread into the element. Thus, the closure may be applied with straight-line capping equipment. The closure may include at least one passage extending through the flange or skirt.
The closure may be a composite closure such that the flange is disposed over an insert disk. The insert disk may form an annular channel in which a sealant is disposed to enhance the seal between the insert disk and the container rim. Further, the present invention enables the insert disk to be floatable with respect to the flange and/or skirt. The present invention encompasses any channel configuration, or alternatively, the flange may be a continuous disk. The deformable element is spaced apart from the insert disk, and/or from the flange.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for molding a closure comprises injecting a first material into a first mold cavity so as to form a closure flange and skirt, and subsequently injecting a second material into a second cavity that is coupled to the first cavity. According to yet another aspect of the present invention, at least one passage may be formed through the wall of the closure, such as from the exterior surface of the flange or skirt of the closure to an interior surface such that the second material may flow through the passage during injection of the second material.
A molding system for making closures provided by the present invention may include a first closure cavity surface and a first closure core surface defining a first closure cavity therebetween. The first closure cavity preferably includes a flange portion and a skirt portion for forming a closure having a corresponding flange and a skirt, and a second closure core and an interior wall of the skirt defining a second closure cavity therebetween for forming a deformable element disposed on the interior surface of the skirt. The first and second cavities may be formed within the same apparatus or in separate molding apparatus, as will be clear to persons generally familiar with conventional sequential injection molding.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a pin may extend into a portion of the first closure cavity from the first closure cavity surface to the first closure core for defining a passage within the first material through the flange and the skirt. Material may be injected through the passage into the second closure cavity.
According to another aspect of the present invention, methods for closing a package comprising a closure of the present invention and a container having a finish with a thread thereon have been provided. One method includes providing a container having a finish with threads disposed thereon, providing a closure having a deformable element disposed on an interior surface of the closure skirt, and urging the closure onto the container finish such that the element is deformed by the container thread to impress threads therein.
According to aspects of the present invention, each of
The container packages illustrated in
As shown in
Flange 23 a and skirt 24 preferably are formed by injection molding a plastic material to form an integral, single piece. Any plastic may be employed for forming flange 23 a and skirt 24, such as for example a polyolefin, including, but not limited to, high density polyethylene and polypropylene. U.S. Pat. No. 5,346,082, entitled �Composite Closure With Sealing Force Indicating Means And Ratchet Operated Tamper Indicating Band,� which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, discloses a composite closure having a skirt, flange, and insert disk
Insert disk 25 is disposed between the underside off flange 23 a and a retaining member 8 that protrudes inwardly from skirt 24. Insert disk 25 may include an optional, central button-type tamper evident indicator 49 disposed at a center of disk 25, an annular channel 52 that receives the container rim 18, a sealant, such as plastisol 54 or like material or component, disposed in annular channel 52, and a bead or curl 56 disposed at an outer edge of disk 25. Tamper indicating button 49 is shown in its up position in
After the capping and filling processes, the panel, which may (optionally) include button 49, deflects to a down position upon cooling of the contents (not shown) and creation of vacuum conditions within container 12. The down or vacuum button position is diagrammatically shown in dashed lines in
Preferably, retaining member 8 is spaced apart from the underside of flange 23 a such that insert disk 25�that is, curl 56�is floatable therebetween (while the closure 10 a is, for example, un-connected from the container 12). Insert disk 25 may be made by conventional means of metal, although other materials, including thermoplastic, are encompassed by the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the particular configuration of insert disk 25, but rather encompasses any insert disk configuration, as well as closures lacking an insert disk, as explained more fully below. Other methods of making insert disk 25 may also be employed
Retaining member 8 provides an upper boundary during the injection of the material forming deformable element 26, as well as a providing a stop against which deformable element 26 may urge during capping. Thus, the material forming deformable element 26 may be kept spaced apart from rim 18 of the container during and subsequent to the capping process. For embodiments including a composite closure, such a spacing may be advantageous during the capping or opening process, or the like.
A first embodiment of deformable element 26 is shown in
Thus, element 26 is formed of a material that is deformable and has a desirable compression set compared with that of the material that forms skirt 24. Further, element 26 preferably is formed of a material that is substantially incompressible, although the present invention encompasses materials of a wide range of compressibilities that are suitable for the required deformation. The term �incompressible� as employed herein refers to a material that maintains an approximately constant volume while a stress or force is applied to at least a portion thereof, and encompasses materials that temporarily compress and rebound.
Element 26 may be formed of any suitable material (encompassing incompressible materials and/or compressible materials), and it has been found to be helpful to describe some suitable materials by employing the parameters of hardness and compression set. The following is a nonexclusive list of suitable materials:
ADVANCED ELASTOMER SYSTEM (�AES�) TREFSIN Number 3271-65W308, Hardness: 65 (Shore �A�, nominal), Compression Set: 13% 22 hrs. @23� C. & 49% 22 hrs. @100� C.;
TEKNOR APEX Number MP 2870M, Hardness: 70 (Shore �A�), Compression Set: 25% @ 23� C.;
AES VYRAM Number 9201-55, Hardness: 55 (Shore �A�), Compression Set: 25% 168 hrs. @ 23� C. & 40% 168 hrs. @ 100� C.; and/or
AES VYRAM Number 9201-65, Hardness: 65 (Shore �A�), Compression Set: 28% 168 hrs. @23� C. & 43% 168 hrs. @ 100� C.
The above values for hardness are according to ASTM D2240, and for compression set are according to ASTM D 395, Method B.
International Patent Application PCT/GB98/01467, which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention, discloses a press-on/twist-off closure having a single pre formed gasket into which both the threads and a seal between the closure and the container rim are formed. Such a configuration is generally commercially disadvantageous for use with composite closures, as well as with other closures employed with a hot-filling or retort process (or other process that subjects the container to internal vacuum pressures), or with closures for which it is desired to form a seal between the closure and the container rim by means other than the single, deformable gasket. The international application also includes a list of materials that may be suitable for use as deformable element 26 of the present invention in some circumstances. Table 1 from the international application is reproduced herein.
According to another embodiment of the present invention as shown in
Closures 10 a and 10 b are shown in
As shown in
As shown in
Preferably, closures 10 c and 10 d are configured for sequential opening such that, during the opening process, first the friction force of the threads is overcome to initiate twisting, then tamper evident band 36 a or 36 b is ruptured, followed by opening of disk 25 by retaining member 8, which urges upwardly against disk curl 56.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
Each of the
Element 26 may be circumferentially continuous or discontinuous. In this regard, a circumferentially continuous element would inhibit insect access to the portion of the closure 10 a�10 e above the threads. Alternatively, element 26 may be formed of discontinuous segments of deformable material, which are identified by reference numeral 34′ in
In this regard, embodiment 10 c of the closure is employed to describe a method of forming threads via impression or deformation according to another aspect of the present invention. Closure 10 c, as shown in
Closure 10 c may be urged onto container 12, which typically would include a food or beverage product disposed therein, directly downward along a longitudinal axis without twisting of closure 10 c (that is, without twisting closure 10 c about longitudinal axis A). Depending on the particular characteristics of the material of deformable element 26, closure 10 c may be urged downwardly such that the centerline CL is parallel or co-linear with a longitudinal axis (not explicitly identified in the figures) of the container finish 14 or such that centerline CL is angled thereto�that is, closure 10 c may be angled relative to container 12 during application.
While deformable element 26 is urged onto the container finish 14, the element 26 deforms sufficiently to extend into at least a portion of the area between the container threads 16. Referring to
Thus, the material of deformable element 26 preferably is deformable so as to deform over threads 16 in response to urging of closure 10 c onto container finish 14. Other attributes of the material of element 26 include a relatively low recovery rate to facilitate such deformation, a intermediate or relatively high compression set. The present invention, however, is not limited to materials having such attributes. Rather, the present invention encompasses employing any suitable material, as will be understood by persons familiar with deformable materials in light of the present disclosure, and reference should be made to the claims to ascertain the scope of materials.
The material of deformable element 26 thus deforms as the upper portion of thread 16 is further urged relative to the deformable element material. At least in part because the preferred deformable element material undergoes no or a small amount of volume change (at the end or long after the closure is coupled with the closure), the material of the deformable element deforms to substantially fill the spaces between the container threads 16, thereby forming closure threads 34′. Further, tamper evident band 36 a, with band 42 in its upward or fishhook position 42′, clears container threads 16. Container rim 18 urges into plastisol in groove 54, where applicable and as described above.
Thus, as illustrated in
According to another aspect of the present invention, molding systems and methods for forming closures of the present invention will be described with respect to
Cavity block 150 a defines a cavity surface 151, core 152 defines a mold core surface 153, and stripper 154 defines a surface 155 such that surfaces 151, 153, and 155 define a cavity 159 a. Cavity 159 a, according to an aspect of the present invention, forms the shape of the closure 10 c except for deformable element 26. In this regard, cavity 159 a includes a cavity flange portion 160 a and a cavity skirt portion 161 a that generally and respectively correspond to closure flange 23 a (or 23 b) and skirt 24. Core surface 153 in the cavity skirt portion 161 a corresponds to skirt interior surface 28.
To fill cavity 159 a, a material, such as a conventional thermoplastic material, is injected by conventional means through sprue 164 and gate 48 into cavity 159 a, as will be understood by persons familiar with injection molding processes.
According to another aspect of the present invention, deformable element 26 may be injection molded in a second stage or step of the injection molding process, subsequent to the injection of material into cavity 159 a to produce portion 159 a′. As shown in
System 11 a′includes a cavity block 150 a′ (the reference numeral includes a prime designation to indicate that the cavity block is in position for the subsequent molding step relating to deformable element 26), an inner core 172, a runner ejector 173, a core bushing 174, and a sleeve ejector 175. The runner system includes runner channel 176. The closure portion 159 a′ from the injection molding step described above is disposed within system 11 a′. A deformable element cavity 169 a is formed by a portion of skirt interior surface 28, which is formed on closure portion 159 a′, and surfaces of retaining member 8, inner core 172, and a portion of ejector sleeve 175.
To fill cavity 169 a, material, such as the preferred TPE material described herein, is injected through channel 176 and into cavity 169 a.
The present invention is not limited to the particular configuration of the molding elements described herein, but rather encompasses any configuration that is capable of forming suitable cavities therein. Further, any runner systems may be employed, including commercially available cold runners or hot runners.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, as illustrated in
Pin 110 extends through cavity surface 151 and into cavity 159 b. Preferably, pin 110 is in contact with mold surface 153 at cavity skirt portion 161 b, and specifically in the region thereof in which annular member 26 is to be formed
To fill cavity 159 b, a material, such as a the thermoplastic material described herein, is injected into sprue 164 and gate 48 into cavity 159 b. Because pin 110 extends into or through cavity 159 b, the removal of pin 110 subsequent to the injection molding forms passage 7 within the injection molded material 159′. Because the end of pin 110 is in contact with the core surface 153 during the injection stage, passage 7 is formed from the exterior surface of the closure portion 159 b′ to the interior portion of closure portion 159 b′ such that passage 7 enables the second material to flow from block 150 a through closure portion 159 b′ to inner surface 28 thereof. Thus, passage 7 extends through a portion of the formed flange 23 and skirt 24, through which a second thermoplastic material may be injected to form the deformable element 26.
According to another aspect of the present invention, deformable element 26 may be injection molded in the second stage or step of the injection molding process, by employing a passage, such as passage 7, through a closure portion, such as portion 159 b′. As shown in
To fill cavity 169 b, material, such as the preferred material described herein, is injected through sprue 177 and into cavity 169 b. Sprue 177 may be positioned at or near an end of passage 7 (which is shown in
The terms �first� and �second� are employed to refer to the equipment, such as the molds, and the processing steps for convenience. The denoted sequence, however, refers to a preferred sequence. The present invention, however, is not limited to the order denoted by the numeric sequence, but rather encompasses any order of the steps, as will be clear to persons familiar to the technology relating to the process steps and equipment to which the numeric sequence refers.
The scope of the present invention should not be construed as limited to the detailed description of the embodiments described herein. Rather, the present invention encompasses numerous variations on the configurations and steps disclosed herein, as will be understood by persons familiar with the relevant prior art in light of the present disclosure. Such modifications should be considered within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

A ugust 17, 1984, will remain etched in the history of Kerala Kalamandalam. It was on this day that institutionalised teaching of Kuchipudi was started in Kerala for the first time. As for Kalamandalam Rajalakshmi, the day will remain evergreen in her memory as that was the day of realisation of her long cherished dream: to become a teacher in Kalamandalam. Incidentally, she has been teaching Kuchipudi, a subsidiary to Mohiniyattom, single-handedly for the past 28 years. Although brought up as a Mohiniyattom dancer who was adjudged 'A' grade by Doordarshan, she is also the only alumnus among the Kalamandalam staff members who was destined to teach a discipline that was not part of the curriculum during her student days in the alma mater. A strict disciplinarian apart, her performances have been marked by inventive brilliance and profound originality. Also, she has proved her worth as a versatile choreographer of Kuchipudi.
In a recent interview before a performance at Cheruthuruthy, Rajalakshmi related at length her transformation into a Kuchipudi artiste and also the responsibility of running a course that is yet to attain an independent department status. Excerpts:
I was born in Aluva. I studied at Government School, Eloor, St Francis School and FACT High School. While I was in class nine, my father, who was a businessman, shifted to Cheruthuruthy. During my school days I could not undergo a systematic training in dance. But I remember my friend Lizzy, a cousin of film actor Unni Mary, teaching me. Those lessons fetched me prizes in competitions. The abiding interest I had evinced in dancing encouraged my father to admit me in Kalamandalam at the age of 12.
With great gurus
I was interviewed by Guru Gopinath. The doyenne of Mohinyattom, Sathyabhama teacher, was also a part of the interview board. They were impressed by my presentation of a semi-classical dance on Krishna. It was a real privilege to be taught by revered teachers like Sathyabhama, Padmini and Leelamma. Leelamma teacher was more than a guru. She moulded me into a Mohiniyattom dancer. I also did a post-diploma course in Kalamandalam under the guidance of Sathyabhama teacher.
Turning point
Marriage at the age of 17, immediately after completion of the course at Kalamandalam, was a turning point. My husband, Thulasidas, was working in the Travancore Titanium Products Ltd, Aluva. Fortunately for me, Kalamandalam Chandrika was on the staff of the FACT school nearby. I was fascinated by her artistry in Kuchipudi, which she had learnt under Vedantham Prahlada Sharma in Eluru, Andhra Pradesh. On her advice, I too went to Eluru where the guru took me under his wings. Gurukula training under him transformed me into a Kuchipudi dancer. His brother Sathyanarayana Sharma taught me too.
Back to the alma mater
Again it was destiny that brought me back to Kalamandalam. The administration had taken a decision in 1984 to introduce Kuchipudi as part of the dance curriculum, which already included Mohiniyattom and Bharatanatyam. My joy knew no bounds when I was selected as the first teacher for this new dance form. Being the first and only teacher for the new course, my job was challenging, as I had to draw up the syllabus myself. Later when the degree course was introduced, I had to update it to suit the requirements.
Into the world of performances
My debut as a solo Kuchipudi dancer in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, won rave reviews. To this date, I can't remember the number of performances I have given independently and also with the Kalamandalam troupe, both within and outside the country.
I have been successful in re-choreographing most of the traditional numbers such as Dasavatharam, Tarangam and so on. I remember how Bharatanatyam exponents C.V. Chandrasekharan and Vasundhara Doraswamy congratulated me after watching my choreography on Ashtapadi. Here I have to point out that a separate department status for Kuchipudi would have enabled me to contribute more. As of now, I am proud to say that it's mainly my students who get admission to the post-graduate course at the Hyderabad University. As for me, I continue to hone my skills by training under Bala, a disciple of Vempatti Chinna Sathyam, in Visakhapatnam.
Present project
The main impediment to the dissemination of Kuchipudi in Kerala is the absence of a book on this classical dance form. I am happy to say that my work towards this is on the anvil and should be completed soon.
