Beautiful Setsuko Hara!

REMEMBERING JAPANESE STAR SETSUKO HARA!


Symbol of the golden age of Japanese cinema beautiful actress Setsuko Hara left the world two years back!

Setsuko Hara in 'Late Spring' (1949).
Best known for her performances in renowned filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu's films like 'Late Spring' (1949) and 'Tokyo Story' (1953). Hara had already appeared in 67 films before working with him!

She also acted in Japanese master Akira Kurosawa's films like 'No regrets for our Youth' (1946).

Chieko Higashiyama, Setsuko Hara & Chishu Ryu in 'Tokyo Story' (1953).
Still remember her great performance in Ozu's masterpiece 'Tokyo Story'..in which she played a widow whose husband was killed in war & her devotion towards her in-laws who insist that she should remarry! Touched the heart!!

A Homage!!
