Who is that, anyway?

Machiko Soga

She was famous for playing Bandora on the Sentai series Zyuranger (Rita Repulsa in the US localization called Power Rangers)

They definitely made her look ugly for the role, but she was a cutie even when she got older.

Rest in peace, Machiko.

I don’t even think she looks ugly in the OP photo. Her smile is radiant.

I remember thinking when I was a kid that without the costume, she'd be really pretty.

Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers. I’m shocked I remembered her name; my younger brother loved the show to bits but I thought it was stupid. In my defense, I was probably about the age my oldest kid is now (11) and he also thinks anything he doesn’t like is stupid so I think it’s a preteen thing.
