Who is the greatest Tamil actress(Before 80's)?

[joe]

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

Padmini is ofcourse 2nd greatest,for me .Padmini had better physic and dancing talent .But being plumpy ,not much dancing talents Savithri made me to like her more with her

1.facial Expression (all her movies)
2.Humour (Navarathiri,especially in the koothu song)
3.Great Dialogue delivery (Thiruvilayadal)
4.Good at Sentiments (Pasamalar)
