Career
Starting as a child actress, Matsuoka made her film debut in 1957 with Daiei Film"s Tokyo hanzai chizu. Appearing in several dozen films, including the horror film The Living Skeleton (Kyūketsu dokuro sen), she was also a gravure idol in the late 1960s. She was even seen in the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice as a diver girl, but was uncredited.
Also working on television, she appeared in over thirty television dramas, including recurring roles on hit shows like Key Hunter and The Guardman.
She was also a regular on landmark variety shows like Kyosen Maetake gebageba 90-pun. Arguably her most memorable work on television was as a weekly co-host for over ten years on the late night news show 11PM, which itself lasted for over twenty years.
