Tamil Film industry has many examples of people who came into the limelight for their lyrics, songs, music, acting etc and then faded away after the first exposure. In this thread, we can discuss about such people.

For starters, I can say about Roshanara Begum, who composed the song "kungumappottin mangalam" in the MGR starrer "Kudiyiruntha Kovil". The song was a hit, but not the lyricist. I wonder why she never got another opportunity. I remember reading an interview years ago wherein she had said that she was discriminated against because she was a woman.
