Vettaithidal Chinnaiahpillai "Sivaji" Ganesan (1 October 1928 – 21 July 2001)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sangam.org/2008/11/Sivaji_Ganesan.php?uid=3155 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All’s in a letter - The Hindu )〕〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/760851/Sivaji-Ganesan )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0304262/bio )〕 was an Indian stage and film actor active during the latter half of the 20th century and was one of the most respected film actors in India. He was well known for his versatility and acting skills with numerous roles depicted on screen, which gave him also the Tamil honorific name ''Nadigar Thillagam'' (English: the pride of actors). He progressed from a stage actor since his childhood to the filmdom with such an authority that the Tamil cinema considered as the golden era. In a career spanning close to five decades he has acted in nearly 300 films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. His eidetic memory helped him remember his scripts at a glance. Ganesan was the first Indian film actor to win a "Best Actor" award in an International film festival, the Afro-Asian Film Festival held in Cairo, Egypt in 1960. Many leading South Indian film actors have stated that their acting was influenced by Ganesan. He was also the first Indian actor to be made a ''Chevalier'' of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Ganesan is remembered as an iconic figure of Tamil cinema. He is referred to as "The Marlon Brando of Indian Cinema". He received the President's Award for Best Tamil Actor on numerous occasions.〔 He is a recipient of four Filmfare Awards South and a National Film Award (Special Jury). In 1997, Ganesan was conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, highest honour for films in India. He received in 1998 the NTR National Award. In spite of his celebrated film career, his short stint in politics became a futile attempt. ==Early life== Ganesan was born on 1 October 1928 into a middle class Tamil family.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/760851/Sivaji-Ganesan )〕〔 Without his father's consent, Ganesan decided to join a touring stage drama company at the age of seven.〔 At the age of 10, he moved to Tiruchirappalli and joined a drama troupe in Sangiliyandapuram and began to perform in stage plays. From the drama troupe trainers he was very lucky enough to learn acting and dancing skills. He was trained in Bharatanatyam, Kathak and Manipuri. Ganesan exhibited the ability to remember lengthy lines easily. The group favoured Ganesan to play the lead and he would continue to do so. His portrayal of the character of Chhatrapati Shivaji in the stage play ''Shivaji Kanda Hindu Rajyam'' earned him the name "Sivaji"〔 which was conferred on him at a public function presided over by social reformer E. V. Ramasamy. Since then, he was referred by the name of "Sivaji".〔 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「Sivaji Ganesan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
