Sawajiri Erika

Ok..I think she's really famous in Japan right now..she starred in this drama based on a real life story, One Litre Of Tears [Ichi Rittoru no Namida]..she played as a girl who was diagnosed with the disease Spinocerebellar Degeneration, which basically is a disease when the cerebellum of the brain deterioates so that the victim cannot walk, speak or eat. She played a really difficult role, but she was really great in it. Seriously. Oh yeah, she was also in this other drama, Taiyo no Uta [A song to the Sun] and she played a girl who also had a disease called XP..basically she can't stay out in the sun because she's allergic to UV rays.. haha..she also played beautifully in this drama. I think she's really talented. Also, she sang in Taiyo No Uta..and her voice is not bad..Not bad at all...An interesting fact about her is that although she looks like she's Japanese, her mother is of Algerian-French heritage..(her dad is Japanese though)...I think she's talented...and she's also one of my favorite actresses...
