Sreedevi with Sreelatha not Sridevi with Srilatha

Sreedevi with Sreelatha not Sridevi with Srilatha! You know we've got the wrong spelling on our now nearly 25 year old page?? 

Sridevi signed her name as 'Sreedevi'. Bollywood posters shortened it to 'Sridevi.' And the spelling stuck. 

And don't even get me started on this epic myth that her name is Shree Amma Iyenger yadda yadda yadda. It's not. Just trying to accumulate enough evidence and research on it with some historical, onomastic proof. 

Until then, here are the lovely Ayappan sisters; Sreedevi and Sreelatha. We have dozens of pics of Sreelatha here in the archive (mostly with her famous sister!).
