Bond girl Julie Ege, 64
Posted: Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 1:48 pmFormer Miss Norway and one-time Bond girl who monopolised the role of the exotic seductress in British comedies in the 1970s
After serving as a Bond girl in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), Julie Ege briefly became a leading figure in British cinema, monopolising the role of exotic, seductress in the low-brow comedies that were a staple of the time. …
She was given the title of “new sex symbol of the seventies” and Hammer hoped that a role as a sexy cavewoman in Creatures the World Forgot (1971) would do for Ege what One Million Years BC (1966) had done for Raquel Welch, turning her into a screen icon, but the film flopped. She continued in comedies and also in horror films for several more years, before giving up acting and becoming a nurse in her native Norway. …
Julie Ege, actress, was born on November 12, 1943. She died on April 29, 2008, aged 64. … Read full obituary
