I know she was from Kerala. A really great dancer and actress. She's also very pretty. I just saw her tamil classic "Thillana Mohanambal" recently. What a great job she has done in it! How about sharing some information about her. I couldn't see any articles except for Keral.com and that had nothing special.

  Just a few notes:
  
  She is from Kerala and one among the three Travancore sisters
  Lalitha , Padmini and Ragini all leading actress in Tamil.
  Lalitha and Ragini ar no more.
  Oldtime Malayalam actress Ambika is their cousin.
  Actress Shobhana [malayalam] is their niece [brothers daughter]. Comedy/mother role actress Sukumari is also their cousin.
  Their early days were spent in Trivandrum and then moved to Mylapore and all the three sisters owned houses in the colony named Lalitha Bhavan, Padmini Nivas & Ragini House otherwise know as 'Lalita-Padmini' colony. They were affectionately called Lalli, Pappi and Ragi. Her mother was saraswati amma and controlled all her activities. She has a box office hindi film to her credit. Raj Kappor's 'Jis des mein Ganaga bahti hei'. She was later married to Dr. KT Ramachandran in 1961, which ended her career as an actress eventhough she briefly appeared in a couple of movies. Her husband passed away in late 1990's.Padmini now lives in Hillsdale, New Jersey-USA and busy with the 'Padmini School of Fine Arts'. These are afew notes of Padmini.

  Wow, what an excellent dancer she is
  
  Earlier, I was not much interested in Old movies, but when I saw a dance sequence of "vangikotai Vaaliban" I.e. with vaijayanthimala, I was just mesmerized. I was waiting for a chance to see that movie. Once, when it was telecast in a satellite channel at 11:30 p.m. I was awake till 1 o'clock and saw the movie. From then onwards, I have become her great fan. When ever I get a chance, I would like to make timings to see her movie.
  
  She is really and excellent dancer with all those expressions. To mention some of her dances are
  1. Kannum Kannum kalandhu in Vangikotai valiban
  2. All songs in Thillana Mohanambal.
  3. A dance in Mannadhi mannan and so on.
  
  I feel very proud that we have such a good Bharathanatyam Dancer in South India, which enriched the dance in Indian Cinema.
