Because of illness during filming, Mie Hama (Kissy Suzuki) was doubled in a diving scene (in "You Only Live Twice") by no less than Diane Cilento - Sean Connery's wife at the time.
Had actually appeared in almost 70 movies before she got married to 007 in You Only Live Twice.
Has been called the Japanese Brigitte Bardot.
Her first name is pronounced "Mee-yay."
Was the first Asian Bond girl.
When producers for "You Only Live Twice" warned Mie that because she wasn't learning English quickly enough, she was going to be fired from the film, she solemnly told them that, because of her shame, she would then commit ritual suicide. Whether she was bluffing or not, the producers decided not to risk it, and she was kept on the film.
