Akemi Negishi
In 1953, when Josef von Sternberg made a film adaptation of the Queen of Anatahan incident, she was discovered at an audition and made her debut in the lead role in Anatahan. Since then, she has been active mainly in film and television. She gained popularity as an actress with a bewitching charm who "could act as well." Ishirō Honda said that Negishi's unique aura suited his films.
