Veteran actress Junko Ikeuchi passes away
Thu, September 30, 2010 (11:54am EDT)
After more than 50 years in the industry, actress Junko Ikeuchi passed away on September 26 as a result of lung cancer. She was 76.
Ikeuchi, whose real name was Sumiko Hanazawa, started her entertainment career in 1954 when she applied to be a magazine cover girl and won. That job resulted in her joining the movie production company Shintoho, and she made her film debut the following year in "Koutaishi no Hanayome." In 1956, she won Best Newcomer in the 1st awards held by the Japan Film Makers Association, alongside Ken Takakura and Yujiro Ishihara.
After numerous films, Ikeuchi began a transition to television, and her first big TV role was the lead in the 1960 afternoon drama "Nichinichi no Haishin." After that she appeared in countless works on both the big screen and the small screen. With the hit drama series "Onna to Misoshiru" (1965-1980), she established her ability to attract high ratings. She later made her theater debut in 1969.
Ikeuchi was active as an actress up until her death. This past spring, she appeared in the play "Sanbaba." In the past few years, her television roles included "Ninkyo Helper," "Bara no Nai Hanaya," and "W no Higeki."
In 1957, Ikeuchi married actor Shinichi Yanagisawa, but they divorced a year later.
Ikeuchi received several honors and awards for her contributions to the arts, including the Shiju Hosho and the Geijutsu Sensho.
