Aparna Sen
1945–
Aparna Sen was cast by Satyajit Ray at sixteen in Teen Kanya - her father Chidananda Dasgupta had founded the Calcutta Film Society with him - and acted in Bengali and Hindi films for two decades before doing the thing she is actually known for.
36 Chowringhee Lane (1981), which she wrote and directed, won the National Award for direction. She has directed a dozen films since, most in Bengali, and edited a magazine for fourteen years. Her daughter Konkona Sen Sharma is an actress and director.
