"I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine."

She turned down the role of Hana-ogi opposite Marlon Brando in Sayonara.

She is said to have witnessed such hardship during the Nazi occupation that she later turned down a role in The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) because it would bring up too many painful memories.

It is often suggested that her later problems with anorexia started with the malnutrition she suffered during the war (she once confessed to eating tulip bulbs).

Was fluent in 5 languages.

In 1990 a tulip was named after her.
