- Episode # 5525 THE PEARL
Original airdate: 2-12-56
Loretta Young was never shy about expanding the range of characters she could play on the screen. It goes back to 1933 when she first appeared as a Chinese woman, Toya San, in the movie The Hatchet Man with Edward G. Robinson. In this episode, she convincingly plays KiKu, a Japanese fisherman's wife, due, in some degree, to special make-up.
This story deals with two dreams, and how they can become one reality. The Japanese fisherman, Kiyoshi, played by Teru Shimada, finds a valuable pearl one day while fishing, but keeps it a secret from his wife. He dreams of the riches and admiration the new found pearl will being him, but when Kiku finds the hidden treasure she has dreams of her own, more practical dreams.
Teru Shimada was a popular Japanese-American actor who was cast most famously as Mr. Osato, a SPECTRE agent in the 1967 James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. His film career began in 1932 with the Night Club Lady. He appeared with Peter Lorre in the 1939 classic Mr. Moto's Last Warning. Another notable role was opposite Humphrey Bogart in the 1949 film, Tokyo Joe.
During World War II, Shimada was interned at the Poston War Relocation Center. He died on June 19, 1988 at age 82 in Encino, California and is buried in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.

Love ❤ this show. Thank you for sharing
She is a woman of a thousand personalities. All good💖
That was pretty incredible. The makeup was amazing too!
❤️ Thank You ❤️
I love how subtlely crafty she was, and how she found out his secret, and used it to surprise him. Of course, he was planning on using that gorgeous pearl, to buy something for that other woman! Men are so obvious and transparent about their actions and behavior, that it's almost funny, if it weren't so infuriating!
LORETTA YOUNG.
SHE'S GREATEST AND AMAZING ACTRESS IN THE WORLD.
