Kamala Devi was the first Indian actress to play the female romantic lead in a non-Indian film—and apart from Freida Pinto the only one so far to have played a non-Indian character in the female romantic lead. Geronimo (1962) was a major Hollywood film, in which she portrayed Teela, an American (‘Red’) Indian princess. Though other Indian actresses followed, they mostly played Indian characters, e.g. Simi Garewal in Conrad Rooks’ Siddharth (1972). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played the European detective Sonia in The Pink Panther 2 (2009) and was the main female lead of the film, but not the female romantic lead.

Personal Life
In January 1961 Kamala, by then in Hollywood, was ‘seen around’ with actor Jeffrey Stone, a.k.a. John Fontaine Stone, who had just been divorced from Corinne Calvet/ Dibos and who had been expected to marry Michele Triola ‘when he was free.’ (glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen) Such sightings led to some gossip about a quadrangule.
Kamala Devi settled in the USA and, in 1963, married Chuck Connors, the male lead of Geronimo and many other films that she acted in. This, as imdb points out, made her the stepmother of Mike Connors, Jeff Connors, Steve Connors and Kevin Connors.Chuck Connors and she divorced in 1972.
She married Wallace Guberman on April 28th, 1978; the marriage ended in a divorce on May 5th, 1983 (5 years) (omnilexica)
Wallace Guberman was a Canadian Jewish businessman (born 1921) twelve or thirteen years Devi’s senior. In 1958 he opened Canada’s first Original Pancake House on Pembina Highway, Winnipeg. By the time he met Devi the restaurant had turned into a small chain. When he died (in 2004 in Los Angeles) his obituary pointedly referred to ‘his first wife Eleanor, who held a special place in his heart’ (and whom he had divorced). There was no mention of Devi.
