Actress Kin Sugai in her brief (but memorable) performance in Godzilla (1954).
Award-winning actress Kin Sugai passed away on August 10 of heart failure. She was 92. Although she is best known for her work with directors Akira Kurosawa (dating back to 1952's Ikiru) and Juzo Itami (for her award-winning performance in The Funeral), Godzilla fans will no doubt recognize her from her mercurial performance in Godzilla (1954) as Ozawa, the fiery female representative in the Diet.
According to NHK, "Sugai had been living in a nursing care facility in Tokyo for around 5 years before her death." Rest in peace.
