Tamlyn Tomita, with teeth
An exuberant Tamlyn Tomita answered questions from the audience, and from SFIAAFF Assistant Director Taro Goto, after her Monday screening of “Gaijin 2: Love Me as I Am.” Before the film, she cried at the memory of Nobu McCarthy, the legendary actress who died during the making of the movie.
