Sridevi, age 8, as a child artist in the Malayalam film Poompatta (1971). Her baby face on all the posters, somewhat of a title role (it means Butterfly, but if you see the film, you know its about this child and her plight in the movie) and the first of many awards that followed, Sridevi was destined for cinematic greatness from the get-go.
This is either her third or fourth film as a child star - but already an incredible actress. She simply dazzles. There are several features online about how mesmerised Kerala audiences were by the child artist and her myriad expressions and grace on film.
And of course, she went on to win the first of several accolades that followed.
