- Name: Hara Setsuko
- Native name: 原節子

In 1963, shortly after the death of her mentor, director Ozu Yasujiro, she suddenly walked away from the film industry. At age 43, and at the height of her popularity, she bluntly refused to perform again, angering her fans, the industry, and the press. She implied acting had never been a pleasure and that she had only pursued a career in order to provide for her large family; this explanation is seen as the cause of her popularity backlash. She moved to a small house in picturesque Kamakura where she remained, living alone (though apparently sociable with friends), and refusing all roles offered.
She is undoubtedly known mostly for her work with Ozu Yasujiro, making six films with the great director, including the so-called Noriko trilogy, of which Tokyo Story (1953) is probably the best-known. She also worked with Kurosawa Akira, Naruse Mikio, Inagaki Hiroshi, and many others. (Source: IMDb) Edit Biography
