Ursula Andress

Who would forget the original Bond Girl, Ursula Andress? Known for her role as Honey Ryder in the first-ever James Bond movie, Dr. No, the Swiss actress quickly emerged to become a massive star. Her iconic scene launched a lucrative career and Andress was provided the freedom to choose her future roles. Andress was quickly placed in a string of remarkable 1960’s films like 4 for Texas (1963) and Fun in Acapulco (1963) opposite Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, respectively.

By the end of the decade, her acting appearances became occasional. Her last credited role was Madonna in the 2005 Swiss movie, Die Vodelpredict (The Bird Preachers). She was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2002, which took an enormous toll on her bones. She now shares her time between her relatives in Switzerland, her friends in Virginia and Spain, and her investment properties in Rome and L.A.
