Durga Khote (January 14, 1905 − September 22, 1991) was an Indian actress, starting as one of the foremost leading ladies of her times, she remained active in Hindi and Marathi cinema, as well as theatre, for over 50 years, starring in around 200 films and numerous theatre productions. In 2000, in a millennium issue, ''India Today'' named her among "100 People Who Shaped India", noting, "Durga Khote marks the pioneering phase for woman in Indian Cinema"〔(Women of Substance ), ''India Today''.〕 as she was one of the first women from respectable families to enter the film industry, thus breaking a social taboo.〔(Ten most important women stars in Indian films ) Gautam Rajadhyaksha, ''Rediff.com''.〕 She also ranks among the top ten actresses in mother roles in Hindi cinema,〔(Memorable Moms ) ''The Statesman'', October 4, 2008.〕 most notable among them were as ''Jodhabai'' in K. Asif's ''Mughal-e-Azam'' (1960), as Kaikeyi in Vijay Bhatt's classic, ''Bharat Milap'' (1942); her other memorable roles as mother were in ''Charnon Ki Dasi'' (1941), ''Mirza Ghalib'', '' Bobby'' (1973) and ''Bidaai'' (1974). She was received the highest award in Indian cinema, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (1983), for lifetime contribution to Indian cinema. == Early life == She was born as Vita Laud, to a family which hailed from Goa and spoke Konkani at home.〔()〕 Her father's name was Pandurang Laud and her mother's name was Manjulabai.〔()〕 She grew up in a large joint family in Kandewadi. She was educated at Cathedral High School and St. Xavier’s College where she studied B.A. While still in college, she married into the Khote family, graduated and settled down with her husband. By the age of 26, Durga Khote was a widowed mother with two young sons, Bakul and Harin. She had to seek work in film to support her children. In doing so, she became a pioneer of sorts: She hailed from a traditional family and the film industry was regarded as the preserve of the base and the bawdy. Also, most of the female characters were played by men at the time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Durga Khote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
