I think that actress is Rie Shibata.


I'm so sure that the girl in the movie was none other than Japanese veteran actress Rie Shibata.
I'm sure that was her even though she is not credited.


Keep in mind that since the film is 27 years old, she was super young.


Here's what she looks like now.

Thanks for the theory.

I'm pretty good with faces, and I don't think it's her. I'm watching the film now, and...

The woman in the film has a pretty thin nose, Rie's is wide, as well as up-turned.
Rie seems to have "buck" teeth (not sure how to describe it in a better way), the woman in the film has pretty small teeth - not straight, but not an overbite.
Rie has thin eyes, pretty set apart. Woman in film has eyes closer together, wider.
Rie has a more square jaw, woman in the film has softer, more oval-shaped jaw.
Rie's lips are much fuller, which could be the result of botox, but the shape is wrong.
Rie's forehead seemes "stretched", mostly in the brow region, whereas the woman on film has a more petite forehead, for lack of better word.

Don't think it's the same woman.

In fact, I went and made a side-by-side for comparison.
