Actor Anna Sawai said she is excited to essay the role of Japanese music legend Yoko Ono in filmmaker Sam Mendes ' upcoming four-part cinematic event on the British band The Beatles.



Sawai called Ono an "incredible artist" and said it's very meaningful to her to be able to portray a musician's story in the film. "It's just exciting because her story is so inspirational to me, and people really don't know the true person that she was," she told entertainment magazine People in an interview.
