More on Radha
Description from Wikipedia:
----
Actress Radha was a top heroine from the eighties and reigned supremacy in the Tamil cine field for more than a decade. She has acted in numerous movies with the cream of the Tamil cinema heroes from Rajinikanth, Kamalahaasan, Sathyaraj, Prabu, Vijayakanth to Karthik, Suresh and Mohan. She has also held her own against Sivaji Ganesan in Mudhal Mariyathai.

Initial Years
Hailing from Kerala along with her equally famous sister Ambika, Director Bharathiraja was the first one to spot the star in the young mallu teenager. He took her in his movie Alaigal Oyvathillai in 1981 opposite then newcomer Karthik and promptly named her Radha. The young heroine took everyone by storm in her very first movie. Her expressive eyes, the bubbly cheeks, the round and innocent face and promising acting skills all at once drew attention. Radha was also gifted with an innocent looking childish face but at the same time she was equally known for her sensual expressions. Needless to say, soon radha became a darling of the masses and she was soon acting in numerous movies alongside heroes like Karthik, Mohan and Suresh.
Despite having minimal training in classical dance during her school days, Radha was a natural dancer and her graceful dance movements with sensual expressions were a treat to watch in all the song sequences that she featured. One of her early super hits Kadhal Oviyam saw her don the Salangai and giving exceptional performances in Bharathanatyam. She also demonstrated her budding acting talents in very intense scenes in this movie under Bharathiraja's tutelage.
