"Hara died of pneumonia at a hospital in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, on September 5, 2015, at the age of 95. Her death was not reported by the media until November 25, 2015."
She finished her acting career after Yasujiro Ozu had died in 1963 and she indeed was, along with Chishu Ryu, one of Ozu's habitues, but also starred in the films of Mikio Naruse and Akira Kurosawa. Always beautiful, charming and an amazing actress, Hara's screen presence always brings smile to my face. Not many other female actresses wield such a power (Takamine comes to mind).
Well, she was my favourite actress ever, so I'm really saddened. Actually, I'm surprised how much.
