Mini bio

  • Shapely, dark haired British actress who appeared in a number of sensual film and TV roles that showcased her beauty. She is probably best recognizable as Miss Caruso, the beautiful young Italian agent sleeping with James Bond in the opening of Live and Let Die (1973) whose blue dress zipper meets its match in Bond's magnetic watch. Prior to this, she had worked with Roger Moore in an early TV appearance and he recommended her for the role.

Trivia

  • "Miss Caruso", the character she played in the opening of Live and Let Die (1973), was not credited by name in the films credits. Instead she was credited as "Beautiful Girl".
  • Her appearance in the episode, Whip Hand (2011), of the daytime BBC1 series Doctors (2000), broadcast on 15 September 2011, marked her triumphant return to acting after her many years absence from the profession.
  • She was in the initial version of the film, Mr. Forbush and the Penguins (1971), but was cut out along with the majority of the cast when the director decided to re-edit it.
  • She was offered a role in Carry on Abroad (1972) but had to turn it down due to other commitments.
  • Was a favourite subject of cartoonist J Edward Oliver, who drew a whole strip about her in Disc in the 1970s.

Quotes

  • 'I was a late developer in every sense. At 21, I became interested in men for the first time and men became more interested in me. My body reacted by producing this enomous bosom. It had nothing to do with the Pill, which I've never taken.'
  • 'When you've got a bosom like mine, there's a very narrow margin between being sexy and ridiculous.'
  • 'The most irritating thing is when people assume that because you have a large bosom, you're going to be vapid and silly. I fail to see what glands have got to do with brains.'
  • I found myself typecast: I was a couple of breasts with a face above them and a squeaky voice. Everyone thought I was brainless and I was stuck with that image for the rest of my career.
