==Early life and career==
==Early life and career==
Jayasudha was born as Sujatha in a [[Telugu people|Telugu]] family in [[Madras]] on 17 December 1958.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=10 November 2006 |archive-date=18 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418065331/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Her aunt is the Telugu film actress and director [[Vijaya Nirmala]]. Jayasudha made her film debut when she was twelve years old as [[Jamuna (actress)|Jamuna]]'s daughter in the [[Telugu film]] ''[[Pandanti Kapuram]]'' (1972). Director [[K. Balachander]] gave her a small role in the Tamil film ''[[Arangetram]]'', where she shared space with [[Kamal Haasan]]. She acted in a number of films in Telugu and Tamil, mostly under Balachander's direction; ''[[Sollathaan Ninaikkiren]]'' (1973), ''[[Naan Avanillai (1974 film)|Naan Avanillai]]'' (1974) and ''[[Apoorva Raagangal]]'' and in [[Idi Katha Kaadu]] with [[Chiranjeevi]]. She also changed her name to Jayasudha, since there was already another actress named [[Sujatha (actress)|Sujatha]]. Her fame quickly spread, where [[Telugu film]] producers were offering her good film roles.
Jayasudha was born as Sujatha.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=10 November 2006 |archive-date=18 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418065331/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> She was born and brought up in Chennai which is her native place too.Her aunt is the Telugu film actress and director [[Vijaya Nirmala]].


While her debut role as heroine in the [[Telugu film]] ''Lakshmana Rekha'' (1975) got her attention, it was really the title role in ''[[Jyothi (1976 film)|Jyothi]]'' (remake of the Hindi film [[Mili (1975 film)|''Mili'']], starring [[Jaya Bhaduri]]) that made her a big star in Telugu films. She was now called a successor to the great Telugu actress [[Savitri (actress)|Savitri]] and performed many strong roles and showed excellent range.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm |title=rediff.com, Movies: The Jayasudha interview<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=10 November 2006 |archive-date=18 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418065331/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/may/13jaya.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
.
She is given the title "Sahaja Nati" which means "natural/realistic actress."
 
Her roles varied from the cute looking teeny-bopper who wore minis in ''Nomu'' (1974), to that of a tortured wife of a sadist husband in [[K. Balachander]]'s film ''[[Idi Katha Kaadu]]'' (1979), to that of a comedian who discovers that her husband wants to murder her for her wealth in ''Money'' (1993). She performed showy roles in Telugu remakes of Hindi films, such as ''[[Yugandhar]]'' (1979) (the fighter role that [[Zeenat Aman]] originated in ''[[Don (1978 film)|Don]]'') and ''Illalu (1981 film)'' ([[Reena Roy]]'s dark-shaded role from ''[[Apnapan]]'' (1977)).
 
In commercial cinema, she received a huge break when she starred in ''[[Adavi Ramudu (1977 film)|Adavi Ramudu]]'' (1977), which broke box office records.<ref>[http://www.tollywoodinfo.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=61 Adavi Ramudu: 29 years passed but the magic still remains<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051122103054/http://www.tollywoodinfo.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=61 |date=22 November 2005 }}</ref> She also showed innovation and lack of vanity in original Telugu films like ''[[Premabhishekam (1981 film)|Premabhishekam]]'' (1981), where she played a supporting role as a deglamourised prostitute, while [[Sridevi]] played the female lead.<ref>[http://www.telugucinema.com/tc/movies/premabhishekam_25yrs.php ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061109160857/http://www.telugucinema.com/tc/movies/premabhishekam_25yrs.php |date=9 November 2006 }}</ref>
 
She has acted in 325 films, and in one year, she had 24 film releases. She accomplished all this, despite her illiteracy in Telugu, by having people read lines to her and she would remember and deliver her lines.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Noted filmmaker [[Dasari Narayana Rao]] repeatedly cast her in his films. In the film ''Idekkadi Nyayam'' (1977), he used her name in the song "Andalanni Neelone Dagunnayi...Jayasudha," that was picturised on her. By 1982, she became such a famous actress that Dasari titled a film that she starred in, ''Jayasudha'' (1982), after her. Her fame also allowed producers to cast her sister [[Subhashini]] in supporting roles in some of the films that she starred in, such as ''[[Sivaranjani (1978 film)]]'' (1978), ''Doctor Cine-actor'' and ''[[Meghasandesam]]'' (1983).
