Shima was born in British Columbia into a Japanese Canadian family and later settled in Toronto. Soon after arriving in the UK in 1958[2] she began playing the role of Lotus Blossom in the play The Teahouse of the August Moon on stage. To the general public, she was probably best known for playing receptionist Sister Lily in the very first James Bond film Dr. No in 1962.[3] In the late 1960s, Yvonne decided to stop acting after suffering a car accident.[1]
