About this person
Kendal was born in England, but moved to India with her family aged seven. Her father was an English actor-manager who led his own repertory company on tours of India, and Kendal appeared in roles for the company both before and after leaving England. She appeared in the film Shakespeare Wallah (1965), which was inspired by her family.
