Ruby Myers

Ruby Myers was one of the Baghdadi Jews of India and couldn’t speak Hindi. A silent movie star, she was one of the highest paid actors of her day. She was such a crowd-puller. She was rumoured to have a higher salary than the Governor of Bombay. With the coming of talkies, Myers had to learn to speak in Hindi. She had a few hits after that but steadily, the offers dried up. She started her own production house, Ruby Pics, in 1930. She won the Dada Saheb Phalke award in 1973. In 1983, she was found dead in her flat, having spent her days lonely and forgotten with no money.
