Ursula Andress

Born in Switzerland on 19 March 1936, Andress was a model before landing the role that would define her career: Honey Ryder in Dr. No, the first James Bond film. That 1962 appearance made her an instant international sensation. She returned to the Bond universe five years later in the spy parody Casino Royale, playing Vesper Lynd. The years between and after brought a run of American, British, and Italian productions - Fun in Acapulco and 4 for Texas in 1963, the adventure film She in 1965, The Blue Max in 1966, then a stretch through the seventies and eighties that included Red Sun, Slave of the Cannibal God, Clash of the Titans in 1981, and the television film Peter the Great in 1986. The bikini moment outlasted all of it.
