Hub is full of discussion on Actors .Why don't we discuss about great actress (not just glamour doll)

For me ,It is Nadigaiyar Thilagam Savithri

how could u miss J.Jayalalitha??? for me she was the most powerful heroine of all times......i somehow love her guts, resilience, intelligence.......her acting in movies was also not bad......

hope this is not considered a political post...

Joe, here is where we have differing opinions. My vote is for Padhmini. Even before her passing, I have argued on behalf.

And Maddy is right about JJ. She is great too. As an actress. Plus, like Banumathi, she can sing as well.

I think you should break the era. In eighties there was Revathi, Suhashini.

Then, there was an era from nineties onward - I refer as mute era for actress, because about 99% don't use their voice. I am sure fans of these mannequins will be mad for not including their sweethearts on that list.

thanks joe

Okay, Joe. Looks good and specific.

My vote is for Savithiri and Sarojadevi

Sarojadevi could do romance,comedy & sentiment and easily gets accustomed with the hero she acts

while savithiri (romance with gg was ok) but with others was ?
