Ursula Andress
BIOGRAPHY
Her emergence from the sea, bikini-clad, in the first James Bond film,
Dr. No (1962), provided the swinging sixties with its splashy equivalent
of the Birth of Venus; none of her subsequent, multifarious film
appearances has been nearly as memorable. She had appeared in several
racy-for-their-time Italian pictures beginning with 1954's The Loves of
Casanova and has not shown terrific discrimination or talent since. Her
stoic beauty-and the Bond notorietypropelled her career in the 1960s,
with such credits as 4 for Texas, Fun in Acapulco (both 1963, the latter
with Elvis Presley), She, What's New, Pussycat?, The Tenth Victim (all
1965), The Blue Max (1966), and Casino Royale (1967), but by the 1970s
she had exhausted her appeal and showed little but her epidermis in The
Sensuous Nurse (1976) and Slaves of the Cannibal God (1978). Once
married to actor John Derek (with whom she costarred in 1965's Nightmare
in the Sun she met much younger hunk Harry Hamlin on the set of Clash of
the Titans (1981) and later bore his child. |
