Setsuko Hara.

Setsuko Hara was a Japanese actress. Though best known for her performances in Yasujirō Ozu's films Late Spring and Tokyo Story, she had already appeared in 67 films before working with Ozu.

Setsuko Hara became one of Japan's best-loved stars over her 30-year film career. Her signature character type, variations on a daughter devoted to her parents and home, inspired the nickname that stayed with her until retirement: the Eternal Virgin. To some extent, reality mirrored her roles in these films.

This typecastig and blurring with reality paved the way for Millennium Actress, and Chiyoko's struggles.
