Hideko Takamine

Hideko Takamine (高峰 秀子, Takamine Hideko^?, March 27, 1924, Hakodate, Hokkaidō, Japan) is a Japanese actress, famous for her films through the 1950s and 1960s.

She first appeared in the 1929 film Mother, bringing her a popularity as a child actor akin to that of Shirley Temple.

In the 1950s, her films with directors Keisuke Kinoshita and Mikio Naruse made her Japan's top star. She married in 1955, but set a precedent by choosing not to give up her acting career.
