Miyoshi Umeki was a wonderful and talented actress and singer. I remember her from the movie, "Flower Drum Song" and the TV sitcom, "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." I didn't know she was born in Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan. That is a lovely and quaint city that I've visited a couple of times.

If you are to get a heart bypass would you want your surgeon to be successful yet dour, or happy yet clumsy? Wow what a dilemma...and I'm so sorry that your great-aunt responded that way. She must have been unhappy in life in general...that's what I observe about people who refuse to forgive...

I don't know the whole story, but she did sound like a character out of a Gothic novel.
