I was shocked about Don Ho also, but the weird thing is (and he almost *never* crosses my mind) I was thinking about him in some capacity like a week or so before he died. Hmmm...maybe i've got the ESP! ;p I also didn't know that Hoku is his daughter!

Hoku? I didnt know Don Ho had a daughter named Hoku? Do you know where theres a piccie? Its funny how I always think of Don Ho forever in his 30s becuz thats whut he looks like on my dads ancient records. He liked DOn Ho! And Engelbert Humperdink!

She sings "Perfect Day" in Legally Blonde. I believe she has a profile on imdb.com. If not, look up Don Ho & when you click the "more" link to look at his bio, I think you can click on her name somewhere in there.
