Abstract :
Keya Banerjee says she was never destined to be a great actress. Her father, the actor Victor Banerjee, is renowned for his leading roles in such films as David Lean\´s 1984 classic A Passage to India. But Keya\´s one star turn, as Jocasta in her high school\´s staging of Oedipus Rex, was short and none too sweet. On opening night, the show\´s producers had second thoughts about her, and the production closed after only two performances. "They realized they made a mistake," Banerjee recalls.
