Clara Dias

Lidvinda Anastasia Clara Correia Dias (née Correia; 14 April 1946 – 18 February 2021), known professionally as Clara Dias, was an Indian actress and singer known for her work in Konkani films, tiatr productions, and radio plays.

Early life Dias, born on 14 April 1946, in Bombay, British India (now Mumbai, Maharashtra, India), originally went by the name Lidvinda Anastasia Clara Correia. Her parents, Samuel Feleciano Braz Nazario Correia and Deleciosa Tecla Correia, hailed from Orlim, Goa. Despite her family's lack of involvement in tiatrs, Dias developed a keen interest in observing these theatrical performances. Her debut paved the way for numerous acting opportunities.

Antonio Sinforiano, a Konkani writer, director, and prompter, played a crucial role in Dias' career. He not only encouraged her but also facilitated her participation in various tiatrs directed by other tiatr figures. This significant support significantly contributed to Dias' growth as an actress. During that era, female representation on stage was scarce, with only a few notable exceptions such as Josephine Dias, Isalita, Sabina Fernandes, and Anita. 2004 Zababdari Selected stage works
