Ahna Capri, the beautiful Hungarian-born actress who appeared in TV classics such as 'Leave It to Beaver' and 'Branded' before scoring film roles in 'Piranha' and 'Enter the Dragon,' only to disappear from Hollywood a few years later, has died from injuries sustained in a car crash in Los Angeles. She was 65.

According to reports, Capri was driving in North Hollywood on August 9 when her car was struck by a 5-ton truck. After being rushed to a local hospital, the actress was placed on life support but died August 19.

Capri was born Anna Marie Nanasi in Budapest, Hungary, but moved to the United States at a young age. By age 11, she was scoring roles on hit TV programs like 'The Danny Thomas Show' and 'Father Knows Best.'

The buxom actress continued to work steadily in TV and film throughout the 1960s on shows such as 'The Mod Squad,' 'I Spy, 'Ironside' and, later, 'Kojak.'

By the 1970s, she had changed her name to Ahna and starred as a wildlife photographer in 'Piranha' and a country singer in 'Payday.' In 1974, she landed the meaty role of Tania, the secretary of Han, in Bruce Lee's smash hit 'Enter the Dragon.'

She last worked in Hollywood in 1979 on an episode of 'Mrs. Columbo.'

Capri was never married and is survived by her sister, Rose.
