Mie Hama, You Only Live Twice
Mie Hama was seen in the movie You Only Live Twice. She was acting as the famous Kissy Suzuki. She was not on the line up to take the role of James Bond’s leading woman. She had trouble learning the English script. This was the biggest reason for her casting since her character did not talk too much within her role. She became a successful actress in her country and got her popularity during the mid-to-late 20th century. She retired from her career last 1989, but her well-known movie was King Kong Escapes and The Cleanup.
