Our sweet Eileen. Our sassy Rosie. She read every email and responded to as many as she could. Our sweet, sweet Eileen. How we love you. How we will miss you,” her co-star on *M*A*S*H, Jeff Maxwell shared his condolences after her death was announced.

She once shared in an interview that she came from a poor Japanese background and was looking at bettering her life in the United States with her family.

I was raised in Japan, came here, English is my second language, but I knew at the age of four that I was going to be a performer. We were very poor, and probably my psyche wanted to be somebody else. To have a brighter life and an entertaining life,” she said.
