Jennifer Kendal: Born in England and brought to India as a young girl by her travelling theatre artiste parents, Jennifer Kendal was envied by a million Indians for having married Shashi Kapoor and admired by many more for her performances in theatre and on-screen. Her film appearances were few, but they were powerful. Most notably, she played a lonely, retired Anglo-Indian teacher in Aparna Sen's 36, Chowringhee Lane, and an Anglo-Indian mother navigating a potentially deadly situation during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Jennifer Kendal was nominated for a BAFTA for her performance in 36, Chowringhee Lane.
