Ursula Andress played Marguerita Dauphin with Elvis in Fun in Acapulco. 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.
Lived with Harry Hamlin from 1978-82. They had a son in 1980.
Living with Lorenzo Rispoli. [1983-?]
Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#53). [1995]
Even after their divorce, Ursula and John Derek remained friends up until his death.
At one time there was actually talk of two former Mrs. Dereks (Ursula and Bo Derek) starring in a movie together, with Bo playing Ursula's daughter.
Often referred to as the "definitive" Bond Girl, as her appearance in Dr. No (1962) made her the first in a long line of famous and not-so-famous actresses to add "Bond Girl" status to their resumes by appearing in the James Bond series of films.
Andress is the only actor to appear in a canon Bond movie (Dr No (1962)), an unofficial Bond film (Casino Royale (1967)) and also appear as a character in a Bond novel (On Her Majesty's Secret Service)
Fluent in English, French, Italian, German and Swiss-German.
Measurements: 35-21-35 as starlet in 1955; 37 1/2-22-35 on set of "Dr. No" 1962; 38C-25-36 on 55th birthday 1991 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
