"It's fun and I think I can do it, but there are too many things more important in life than forever trying to be a star in Hollywood."

     Harry has even done some acting, appearing for five days on the original daytime soap Santa Barbara. She played a "bad guy's girl" who gets arrested. But even that brief glimpse was enough to generate letters demanding more of her.
     "It's fun and I think I can do it," she said a few years ago, "but there are too many things more important in life than forever trying to be a star in Hollywood." By 1995, however, acting would move to take up center stage in her ambitions.
     Harry traveled to Japan at least once a year until 1996. The demand for her remains so strong that she can call the owner or head booker of any agency in Tokyo and say, "I need to get away but want to maintain an income. Can I come?" She's welcomed on a moment's notice, air fare included, of course.
     Harry loves to shop in Tokyo and can be extravagant. On the whole, however, she has been disciplined about saving money for wiring to her accounts back home in Orange County. She place where she always saved money was on entertainment. At fashionable Roppongi discos models, especially foreign ones, are always comped for admission and drinks. Good thing too, because, Harry loves to dance. Many were the days when she flew to Tokyo, worked the next day, then flew straight home.

ngela Harry was born in the southwestern Japanese city of Fukuoka to a Corean mother and a father who was a colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Her girlhood was a long succession of moves. By her fifth birthday she had also lived in Hawaii, Colorado, Texas and California.
     A year later the family returned to Japan, but soon moved to Corea where her family lived for a couple of years. During that time she took up ballet and piano, taking lessons five days a week. Her shyness led her to stop the ballet lessons, but the piano lessons continued even when the family moved to Ohio when she was nine. For the first time her family was able to live in their own house off-base. The Ohio stay was the longest of her childhood -- four years. PAGE 4
