She was a great old time actress. It is truely sad to see her pass on. Lung cancer is one of the worst ways to pass away.

Even though she's only voiced in two anime related films. I'll remenber her best as Older Sophie, she did an excellent job in portraying the cursed form of Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle.

I'm glad she got that part, cause her role in "Spirits Within" wasn't that memorible. Course that movie got mediocre reviews for various reasons.

Anyways I give my deepest condolences to her friends and family.

It's such a shame to hear the news of her passing. Just going by her performance in Howl's Moving Castle alone, you can tell by the caliber and quality of her acting how classically-trained she was and that she was a real talent. She'll definitely be missed.
