Real Name: Ursula Andress Was Born: March 19, 1936. Ostermundigen, Berne, Switzerland Bio: Andress is a Swiss actress who
was a major sex symbol of the 1960s and is best known as the first ever Bond
girl. She appeared as Honey Ryder, James Bond's object of desire in Dr. No (1962),
the first James Bond film. Her stunning good looks served her well, as her introduction
in Dr. No became one of the most famous Bond moments. Rising out of the Caribbean
Sea singing a beautiful Calypso and tossing back her blonde hair, she spots
Bond. "What are you doing here?" she asks. "Looking for shells?". Andress has
now been immortalized as the first and best Bond Girl to grace the big screen.
In 1963 she won a Golden Globe for Best Promising Newcomer (Female). An homage
to this scene was included in the Bond film, Die Another Day. This time around
the part of the siren walking out of the water was played by Halle Berry...
