I'm sad to hear that. She was also the first person of Asian descent to win an Oscar, and co-starred with Jack Soo (Barney Miller) in the delightful musical Flower Drum Song. May she :rip:.

Loved her on Sayonara. R.I.P. :(

What a lovely lady she was. I hope she didn't suffer. May she R.I.P.

Rest in Peace Miyoshi Umeki

That's a shame, I liked her. :rip: Miyoshi Umeki
