Biography
An English actress, she wanted to be a painter but became a sought-after advertising model when she won The Evening News’s “Face of the Year” contest in 1966. After debuting as an actress in Richard Quine’s comedy-western A Talent for Loving (1969), her relationship with cinema was mainly connected to fantastic cinema. Hired by Hammer Films, she appeared in Alan Gibson’s Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972), and Brian Clemens’ Captain Kronos–Vampire Hunter (1974), and thanks to her outstanding performance in this film, she starred opposite John-Philliph Law in Brian Clemens’ The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974). Her definitive leap to fame took place when she became a “Bond girl” in Lewis Gilbert’s The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Other outstanding films she’s participated in are Robert Fuest’s The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), William Lustig’s Maniac (1980), and Howl of the Devil (1987), by Paul Naschy / Jacinto Molina.
