Nobu McCarthy (Japanese: ノブ・マッカーシー, born Nobu Atsumi (渥美 延); November 13, 1934 – April 6, 2002) was a Japanese Canadian actress, fashion model, and stage director. She received a nomination for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance in the film The Wash. McCarthy was born Nobu Atsumi in Ottawa, Ontario, the daughter of Masaji and Yuki Atsumi. Her father was a Japanese fashion designer and diplomatic attaché stationed in Canada at the time. She was raised in Japan, where she studied ballet. A modeling career eventually led to a beauty pageant in which she won the title of "Miss Tokyo". She married army sergeant David McCarthy in 1955 and moved to the United States. While shopping in the Little Tokyo district of Los Angeles, McCarthy was discovered by talent agent Fred Ishimoto, which led to her film debut in [[The Geisha Boy (Movie) | The Geisha Boy]] (1958). ===Appearances=== * [[Farewell to Manzanar (Movie) | Farewell to Manzanar]] * [[The Case of the Wrongful Writ (Perry Mason)]] (1965) ...
