This was a gorgeous woman with real hard-life experience, events that would sink even the strongest of us (growing up in a Japanese-American internment camp, raped at the age of 9, reform school as a teen, gang life, etc.) and she had great natural talent as an actress.  She is unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a great interview with her.
