on Indian audiences, he first cast her in the role of a slave in his
1933 film “Desh Deepak”. She was very well accepted by the
audiences possibly because of her athletic demeanour and the fact
that she was white probably led audiences to accept her larger than
life character in the film. She was soon cast in JBH’s next film
Noor-e-Yaman (1935) as Princess Parizad.
Driven by her huge success
with the audiences, JBH
wrote a special script based
around her persona, called
“Hunterwali” depicting her as
a swashbuckling, Amazonian
blue-eyed blonde cracking
her whip and brandishing her
gleaming sword and swinging
on chandeliers.
Success was guaranteed
and success was huge.
