- Was interviewed for the lead role in the James Bond film Moonraker (1979) but lost the role to Lois Chiles. Nevertheless, she impressed director John Glen who cast her in the lead for the next Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981). Even though she received good notices from critics and moviegoers for her performance as a revenge-seeking heroine, the producers excluded her from the film's publicity tour because of an earlier interview she gave where she said Roger Moore was old enough to be her father rather than a romantic lead, due to the thirty-year age difference. Over the years, she has avoided Bond events and interviews about the film.
- Spokesmodel for Chanel in the 1990s.
- She owns vineyards in Pantelleria, Italy, and speaks Italian fluently.
- She was the girlfriend of the late producer Jean-Pierre Rassam. They have a son, Dimitri Rassam, who is also a producer.
- Became a grandmother when her son Dimitri Rassam and his wife, Russian model Masha Novoselova had a daughter, Darya, in 2011. They divorced in 2017. Dimitri subsequently married Charlotte Casiraghi, the daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco in 2019. Their son Balthazar was born the previous year.
- For me, cinema is like a keyhole through which we can find out what is happening in the world. I grew up and discovered life through film. Films also have to get people engaged and the films we are going to see are, in my opinion, very engaged. For me cinema remains an art.
