In 1965, 18-year-old Persis Khambatta became the third woman to be
crowned Miss India. After moving to England and then to the United
States, she found worldwide fame in the first Star Trek movie in
1979, and in 1980 she became the first Indian presenter at the
Academy Awards. The American film industry seemed never to forgive
Khambatta for being a non-white woman who refused to do nude
scenes. After failing to sustain a career as either a producer or a
performer, she achieved a triumph before her sudden death in 1998
with the publication of her book Pride of India: A Tribute to Miss
India. Based on contemporary news articles and primary sources,
this first biography examines Khambatta's Hindi and
English-language film and television work, and demonstrates the
many ways she was ahead of her time as a filmmaker, feminist, and
humanitarian.
