FEARLESS NADIA FILM ACTRESS BIOGRAPHY

 

FEARLESS NADIA  FILM ACTRESS BIOGRAPHY

Fearless Nadia was an actress and stuntwoman, who is most remembered as the masked, cloaked adventurer in Hunterwali released in 1935, which was one of the earliest female-lead Indian films. She toured India as a theatre artist and began working for Zarko Circus in 1930. She was introduced to Hindi films by Jamshed "J.B.H." Wadia. In 1967-68, when she was in her late 50s, she appeared in a James Bond spoof called Khiladi. Fearless Nadia was born as Mary Ann Evans in Perth, Western Australia. In 1928, she returned to Bombay with her mother and a son, Robert Jones. An Armenian fortune teller had foretold that a successful career lay ahead but she would have to choose a name starting with the letter ‘N’. She chose the name Nadia because it was “exotic-sounding”.
