Hollywood was adopted by an American couple who were stationed in Japan with the U.S. military and who could offer him a good life in America.
Though his adoptive parents always encouraged him to meet his birth mother, Hollywood always declined —until the heart attack. Then he began his search at the age of 44.
He contacted the Japanese Embassy, the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, and even employed a private detective but no one could find her. Months later, the Japanese Embassy called Hollywood back with good news: they had found his mother, Nobue Ouchi. That same day, Hollywood spoke to his mother on the phone for the first time, with the help of an interpreter.
Then he learned that his birth mother never married, because she said in her heart there was only room for one man. And it was Hollywood, and she knew Hollywood would be back. His birth mother also ran her own business, a restaurant she named “Bruce”. Before leaving Japan, Hollywood's adoptive parents gave Ouchi a baby photo of Hollywood and told her they named him Bruce. Ten days later, Hollywood flew to Japan to meet his birth mother in person.
It was all true. She told him the story he never knew about his adoption. The American military man who was his birth father never finished the paperwork to marry Ouchi and was sent home to South Carolina. He did not know she was pregnant.
Hollywood and his mother continued a close friendship for three years, both flying back and forth to Washington and Japan, until Ouchi passed away in 2009.
