1960களிலேயே திரைத்துறையில் முத்திரை பதித்தவர் எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமி. அவரை மிக மிக பிரபலமாக்கி அடையாளம் காட்டிய படம் ராமன் எத்தனை ராமனடி. நடிகர் திலகத்தின் ஆயாவாக இட்லிக் கடை வைத்து பிழைப்பு நடத்தி அப்பாவி ராமனை நினைத்து மனம் வருந்தும் காட்சிகளிலும் சரி, பின்னாளில் மாளிகையில் ஆங்கிலத்தில் உரையாடி வெளுத்துக் கட்டும் காட்சியானாலும் சரி, பின்னி யிருப்பார். குறிப்பாக நடிகர் திலகத்திடம் உரையாடும் அந்த no cry, don't cry காட்சியில் அரங்கமே உணர்ச்சி வசப் படும்.
அவருடைய மறைவு தமிழ்த்திரையுலகில் மற்றொரு ஈடு செய்ய முடியாத இழப்பு.
RIP
Softie, In 10A, Kamal played the role that might have gone to her so..
May her soul rest in peace, she is a great actress, and will be remembered for that.
Very sad news. :sad: Excellent actress and great dedication till her end! I used to see 'Thendral' serial sometimes (sun tv) in which she acted. May her soul rest in peace!
S N Letchumy...very sad news :-(
heartfelt condolences.
:( will miss her graceful presence in silver screen... Farewell O kleptomaniac who stole our hearts with your solid performances..
R.I.P....
Excellent actress.
RIP.

இந்த பெயரைக்கேட்ட உடனே நமக்கு மைக்கேல் மதன
காமராஜன் பாட்டி ஞாபகம் வர வேண்டும்
1960'லிருந்து இன்று வரை களைகட்டிய நடிப்பை வழங்கி வரும் நடிகை இவரே..
ஆஹா எத்தனை எத்தனை கதாப்பாத்திரங்கள்
சர்வர் சுந்தரத்தில் நாகேஷின் அம்மா வேடத்தில் கலக்க்கியிருப்பாரே மறக்கமுடியுமா
அதே போல் எதிர் நீச்சலில் மாதுவை லாவகமாக வேலை வாங்குவதும், மாது தன் தம்பி திருடியதை பார்த்ததை மறைக்க
தினம் சோறு போட்டேனேடா அம்மா மாதிரி என்று சொல்லி குழைவதும் அருமை.
தேவர் மகனில் நாசரின் அம்மா வேடம்
அதே சமயம் கமல் மீது பாசம் என அழகு நடிப்பு
அதுவும் நாசர் இறந்த பின்
"நான் கொடுத்த பாலெல்லாம் ரத்தமா போகுதே " என கதறுமிடம் நடிப்பில் இவர் மூத்தவரே..
இப்படி பல வேடங்களில் மின்னும் இவர் மனோரமாவையும் சில நேரங்களில் மிஞ்சக்கூடியவர்.
காமெடி வேடமும் சுலபமாக வரும்
இவரைப்பற்றி ஒரு பக்கத்திற்கு மேல் கட்டுரை எழுத ஆசை தான்
நேரமின்மை சுருக்கமாக முடிக்கிறேன்
எம்.ஜி.ஆர்,சிவாஜி, ஜெமினி,எஸ்.எஸ்.ஆர் என எல்லோருக்கும் அம்மாவாக நடித்தவர்.
பின் அடுத்த தலைமுறையினருக்கும் அம்மாவாக நடித்தவர் இவர்.
இவர் முத்திரை பதித்த நடிகை என்பதில் எந்த சந்தேகமும் இல்லை
பேரிழப்பு .. ஆன்மா சாந்தி அடைய எல்லாம் வல்ல இறைவனை வேண்டுகிறேன்

Is it official that she acted as klepto in MMKR?
I saw some posts to that effect here, even wiki says so.
However, the movie seemed to show her doing a "deliberate" negative role - not just paNdam thirudal, she creates trouble to Kameswaran who tries to nab her 'kaiyum kaLavum', later shops at the store in Kameswaran's account and finally makes the deal with Nagesh for the impersonation, even demands more money from him once they reach Bangalore.
The movie also shows her doing a judO kind of fight :-)
She used to live near to my grand mother's house in Abiramapuram (near mandaveli) and my cousins were very close to her. I have seen her only few times though. :sad:

Speaking to The Hindu over telephone from the sets of ‘Viswaroopam' in Mumbai, Kamal said: “I was very close to her and have admired her. To be honest, I feel she is like a family treasure that I inherited from the KB school. She was a colossal talent!”
Recalling her performances in some of his films, he said it was hard to believe that the lady who played the kleptomaniac in MMKR was the one who played ‘Periyaatha' in ‘Thevar Magan, or the old woman in ‘Virumaandi'.
“I would joke with her that she was made to play mother even as a little girl. ‘ Amaam thambi, appadithaan ayiduchu ' (yes, that's how it was), she would laugh. She has acted as mother of R.S.Manohar, Sivaji, M.G.R.…several heroes across generations.”
At a time when many are racing towards mediocrity, actors of a higher order such as S.N.Lakshmi, Nagesh and Kaka Radhakrishnan may have gone unnoticed after the 1960s. “I did not want that to happen, as such talent should be celebrated. I celebrated her when she was alive, and will continue to do so henceforth too.” Observing that she would instantly understand what was required of her, Kamal said: “You just had to tell her what the character was, she would take care of everything and do a brilliant job.”// KH about SN.Lakshmi in the Hindu.
KH once told me about watching S.N.Lakshmi driving fast into AVM Studios. On seeing AV Meyyappan, director Muthuraman and KH standing outside the set, she spontaneously removed both her hands from the steering wheel and wished them 'Vanakkam'. The car was gliding past the trio standing amazed.
In my opinion, KH is the only one who utilized her full potentials as an actor
I heard about her fast driving stories. R.I.P. Good to know that she participated in some great films.
App, ur question got answered by kamal himself!
Yes, as kamal said, its him who is one to give superb roles to them (Nagesh, SN Lakshmi & Kaka radhakrishnan) and helped them showcase their talent to the current generation
Thanks Joe for posting that, here is the full link

She played the screen mother for several heroes, from MGR to Kamal Hassan
Veteran actor S.N. Lakshmi, whose performance was marked by refreshing restraint, passed away here on Sunday. She was 85.
Fans of Tamil cinema cannot forget the kleptomaniac paatti in ‘Michael Madana Kama Rajan' (MMKR), or the concerned mother-in-law in ‘Mahaanadi' very easily. Her portrayal of the characters was not just highly entertaining, but also very convincing.
Beginning her journey in Tamil theatre and then moving on to films, Lakshmi worked on a style that showed moderation rather than melodrama, something that was not very common among artistes of her generation.
In her career spanning over seven decades, she performed with stars such as M.G.Ramachandran, Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan and Nagesh in some of their best films, and later with top actors of the next generation, particularly Kamal Haasan. He is said to have had great confidence in her, periodically giving her fascinating roles.
“Colossal talent”
Speaking to The Hindu over telephone from the sets of ‘Viswaroopam' in Mumbai, Kamal said: “I was very close to her and have admired her. To be honest, I feel she is like a family treasure that I inherited from the KB school. She was a colossal talent!”
Recalling her performances in some of his films, he said it was hard to believe that the lady who played the kleptomaniac in MMKR was the one who played ‘Periyaatha' in ‘Thevar Magan, or the old woman in ‘Virumaandi'.
“I would joke with her that she was made to play mother even as a little girl. ‘Amaam thambi, appadithaan ayiduchu' (yes, that's how it was), she would laugh. She has acted as mother of R.S.Manohar, Sivaji, M.G.R.…several heroes across generations.”
At a time when many are racing towards mediocrity, actors of a higher order such as S.N.Lakshmi, Nagesh and Kaka Radhakrishnan may have gone unnoticed after the 1960s. “I did not want that to happen, as such talent should be celebrated. I celebrated her when she was alive, and will continue to do so henceforth too.” Observing that she would instantly understand what was required of her, Kamal said: “You just had to tell her what the character was, she would take care of everything and do a brilliant job.”
Lakshmi had rich experience in theatre as well. Having performed in over 2,000 plays in various troupes, including those of Gnanadesikar, N.S. Krishnan, S.V. Sahasranamam's Seva Stage and K. Balachander's Ragini Recreations, she could draw upon different schools. According to chronicler ‘Film News' Anandan many of the plays produced by Sahasranamam were later made into films later and Lakshmi got to act in them.
Her initial years in the field present a rather colourful picture. She performed fascinating stunt sequences, including a fight with a leopard for the MGR film ‘Baghdad Thirudan'. Such courage was not something she acquired for the profession, but something she had even as a child.
Unhappy with the way her brothers treated her after her father's passing away, she decided to leave home when she was barely 11 years old to find her true calling. Though she later reunited with her family, Lakshmi preferred leading an independent life, acting in television serials, driving around.
She would take her car and go on long drives when time permitted. She loved being on her own.
: bow my head : RIP
Very natural performer.MMKR,TM and MN will be the movies which I will always remember her for.
மறைந்த மூத்த நடிகை எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமிக்கு ஜெயலலிதா இரங்கல்
செவ்வாய்க்கிழமை, பிப்ரவரி 21, 2012, 9:08 [ist]
சென்னை: மூத்த நடிகை எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமியின் மறைவுக்கு முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா இரங்கல் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
இது தொடர்பாக ஜெயலலிதா வெளியிட்ட இரங்கல் செய்தி:
பழம்பெரும் நடிகை எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமி கடந்த 19-ந் தேதி இரவு திடீரென்று மூச்சுத்திணறல் ஏற்பட்டு, சிகிச்சை பலனின்றி இயற்கை எய்தினார் என்ற செய்தி அறிந்து சொல்லொணாத் துயரமும், மிகுந்த மன வருத்தமும் அடைந்தேன்.
சிறு வயதிலிருந்தே மேடை நாடகங்களில் நடித்து வந்த எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமி, நடிப்பின் மீது மிகுந்த ஆர்வமும், ஈடுபாடும் கொண்டவர். தன்னுடைய 13-வது வயதில் திரைப்படத் துறையில் காலடி எடுத்துவைத்த எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமி, எம்.ஜி.ஆர். உள்பட பல முன்னணி நட்சத்திரங்களுக்கு தாயாக நடித்து தனக்கென ஒரு தனி முத்திரையை பதித்துக்கொண்டவர்.
நான் நடித்த திரைப்படங்களிலும் அவர் நடித்து இருக்கிறார். பார்ப்பதற்கு எளிமையானவர், பழகுவதற்கு மிகவும் இனிமையானவர். தமிழ்நாடு அரசின் "கலைமாமணி'', "கலைச்செல்வம்'' உள்பட பல்வேறு விருதுகளைப் பெற்றவர்.
சினிமா துறைக்கு பேரிழப்பு
1,500-க்கும் மேற்பட்ட திரைப்படங்களிலும், 6,000-க்கும் மேற்பட்ட நாடகங்களிலும் நடித்த எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமி, கடந்த சில ஆண்டுகளாக சின்னத்திரை மூலம் தன்னுடைய நடிப்பாற்றலை வெளிப்படுத்தி வந்தார். எஸ்.என்.லட்சுமியின் மறைவு திரைப்படத் துறையினருக்கும், நடிப்புத் துறையில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளோருக்கும் பேரிழப்பாகும். நாடகத்துறையிலும், திரைப்படத் துறையிலும் இவர் ஆற்றிய பணி மகத்தானது.
அவரை இழந்து வாடும் அவரது குடும்பத்தினருக்கு எனது ஆழ்ந்த இரங்கலையும், அனுதாபத்தையும் தெரிவித்துக்கொள்வதுடன் அவரது ஆன்மா இறைவனின் திருவடி நிழலில் இளைப்பாற எல்லாம் வல்ல இறைவனைப் பிரார்த்திக்கிறேன்.
இவ்வாறு அந்த இரங்கல் செய்தியில் கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது.
Equally at ease with comedy and serious roles
The m-i-l in Mahanadhi and the MMKR pAtti (kadandhakaala pAttiyAkkum :lol:) - what variety.
And extremely quick timing as seen in kAdhalA kAdhalA - ippadi dhaan kiLLi kiLLi viLayANdukittu irundhaaha :lol:
Surprising that off the 1000(??) odd movies she has supposedly done,everyone keeps referring to the three or four movies that she has done with Kamal.

I remember sn lakshmi with "edhir neechal", "server sundharam" and the likes. Not many mentions her other roles other than mahanadhi and devar mahan likes. She did a fantabulous job with earlier generation.
My mother in law's place is near raja annamalai puram, Once during morning walk (5 years back) I saw her driving her palatial car with such grace and ease. I recognised her and gave a pleasant smile, surprised to see a shocking persona difference from the reel to the real. She recognised my smile and was so happy to see a normal person on road recognising her, she smiled back so gently. As per my mothers words, "very daring lady for those days".
Herez a scene from baghdad thirudan. Watch first 9 minutes. sn lakshmi, totally diff get-up as baghdad queen, and u can see her engaging in sword fight , and did a good job at that. Watch first 10 mins at the end of which she dies.

He was 96 :shock: - meaning he must have veeb 70+ while churning out those immortal melodies in Malayalam in the 90s! :respect:
Sagarangale is from which movie? Aavanaazhi?
Think it is panchagni Ajay
