Helen was Marilyn Monroe with martyrdom. In an age of voluptuous vamps with well endowed hips, Helen stood out with a trim figure and eyes that sparkled like fiery emeralds. She possessed an enviable wardrobe, a profusion of feathers and an array of wigs (she was partial to the blonde wig throughout her career); she was the epitome of the sophisticated femme fatale.
And to think there was a time when Helen had to struggle to make ends meet. Hers is a Cinderella story. An Anglo-Indian refugee from Burma, the young Helen, accompanied by her mother, made an arduous trek to India to escape the perils of World War II.
Since her mother's income as a nurse was inadequate, Helen quit school to work in films. While undergoing training in Kathak, Helen discovered she had a flair for dancing. Family friend Cuckoo was the leading dancer in Hindi films of the day. On her recommendation, the still-in-her-early-teens Helen got a break as a chorus dancer in Shabistan (1951).
She was part of the chorus in several films before her obvious talent was noticed and swiftly graduated to being solo dancer in films like Alif Laila (1953) and Hoor-e-Arab (1955).
Soon producers had cottoned onto the fact that Helen was a dancer whose feet were her fortune. She made a major splash with her Mr John ya Baba Khan number from the Dev Anand-Nutan starrer Baarish (1957). The very next year, Helen, looking delectable in a Chinese dress, had proved she had conclusively arrived with the O P Nayyar show-stopper Mera naam Chin Chin Choo from Howrah Bridge (1958).
Nightclub dances in the 1950s and cabaret numbers in the 1960 and the 1970s established Helen as a skilled Western dancer. But many of her semi-classical Indian dances like Tora man bada paapi (Ganga Jumna) and Ghungarwa mora chham chham baaje (Zindagi), were also successful.
More often, Helen's Anglicised looks were exploited for an Occidental item number or in an acting role which served to accentuate the contrast between the freethinking Westernised vamp and the traditional Indian heroine (Babita in Dus Lakh, Raakhee in Mere Sajna).
Helen's looks also proved to be a major obstacle when she tried to make it as a heroine. She played leading lady to heroes ranging from Chandrashekhar (in the sleeper success Cha Cha Cha, where she got to warble numbers like Do badan pyar ki aag mein jal gaye) to Amitabh (Imaan Dharam) -- but, strangely, the devil gave Helen her due only when she was portraying a shade of evil.
Helen did push the envelope when it came to provocation on screen, but she took care to wear skin-coloured body stockings in most of her cabarets even when she donned daring outfits. Anyway, with her innate grace, she was incapable of looking sleazy. Her famously aloof attitude on film sets also helped.
Barring the occasional film like Pagla Kahin Ka (where she played Shammi Kapoor's first love who falls victim to a rape), producers cast Helen as an exuberant libertine. She vindicated their faith by imbibing her characters with vitality. Witness the carefree Kitty from Gumnaam, who dances with abandon on a beach to Gam chhodke manao rangreli, only to be lynched a few reels later.
Helen enjoyed 20 years as cabaret queen of Hindi films in pulsating numbers like Chin chin choo, Aaya ya sukku sukku, Yeh mera dil pyar ka deewana. By the 1970s, Bindu decamped with the meatier vamp roles, and a spate of young dancers like Padma Khanna and Aruna Irani created a definite dent in Helen's monopoly.
For Helen, the situation was exacerbated by the fact that she underwent major financial problems. With age, the number of roles that came her way began to shrink. At this juncture, she got involved with writer Salim Khan. He helped bail her out of the mess and offered her important roles in three films he was co-scripting with Javed Akhtar: Imaan Dharam, Don and Dostana.
Mahesh Bhatt offered her a histrionically-demanding role in Lahu Ke Do Rang (1979). At the fag end of her career, Helen won Filmfare's Best Supporting Actress Award for her role as Vinod Khanna's Oriental wife.
Thereafter, Helen shocked many by acknowledging the relentless footfalls of time and playing Zeenat's mother in Ram Balram (1980)! She married Salim, worked out an amicable equation with his first wife and family, and receded from the screen.
Today, Helen enjoys a semi-retired life. Occasionally, she dons grease paint for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Khamoshi). As testimony to the perennial popularity of her dances, A-list heroines like Aishwarya Rai and Urmila Matondkar dance to her numbers at stage shows.

Did you people know that -
Howrah Bridge
Mera naam Chin-Chin-Choo
Starting as a chorus dancer in the Anglo-Indian Cuckoo's troupe, Helen catapulted to number one dancer in Shakti Samanta's Howrah Bridge. With this song, Helen captured her audience.
Cha Cha Cha
Subaha na aayee shaam na aayee
Helen was heroine of a good number of films? This one had her starring opposite Chandrashekar.
Because of her Anglicised accent and exotic look, she managed only B-grade films, which didn't do well for her career. Which meant Helen was back to item numbers.
Caravan
Piya tu ab to aaja
After Cuckoo, Helen became the 'cabaret-song specialist'.
This song was a special favourite of R D Burman and Asha Bhosle. And the two would invariably sing it at every concert they performed together.
Teesri Manzil
O hasina zulfon wali
Helen was affectionately called Kitty because of her Spanish-Burmese looks.
She had her second lead roles as the vamp who loves the hero and dies for him down to a fine art.
Don
Yeh mera dil pyaar ka deewana
In the mid-Seventies, Helen was sidelined despite doing popular numbers due to a personal tragedy.
Inkaar
Mungda mungda
This spirited song made Usha Mangeshkar a household name. But it sadly didn't do much for Helen. This song came at the end of 70's when Helen was going through a bad phase personally.
Sholay
Mehbooba mehbooba
One of the biggest Hindi films had Helen dancing to R D Burman's playbacking.
Khamoshi
Mausam ki sargam ko sun
Helen made a rare onscreen presence in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Khamoshi.
This song and dance sequence was specially created for her.

Very much so HT. . The Helen/Asha/RD combo is quite stunning and RDB used it to great effect right from the sixties to the eighties. Don't think he ever composed a Helen song with Lata, did he?

BTW
Cabaret Trendsetter, Helen was Marilyn Monroe of Hindi Cinema having eyes that sparkled like Fiery Emeralds.
Best performance of RD & Helen was in Teesri Manzil….
O Hasina Zulfon Wali….
also
in Carvan - Piya Tu.u.u.u.u.u Ab To Aajaaaa.a.a.a.a.a was superb.
If we don't tied Helen with RD Rope, she was wonderful in so many films, how can one forget 'Chhod KarTere Pyar Ka Daman' (Woh Koun Thi).
She was Top-of-class in Film Shikari (superb songs & dances).
Thanks for nice thread, pl. keep on.

Take this exceptional song from Asha+Helen combo.
Beautiful song (and this is not a cabaret song). If I remember well, Helen has been very sajjan in this film.
Singer: Asha
Song: Meharbaan mehboob dilbar (4:26, 128kbps)
