Maud Adams
Stunning Swedish born ex-model who broke into film in 1970, and quickly appeared in several high profile films including playing the ex-wife of James Caan in the futuristic Rollerball (1975) and the ill-fated lover of super assassin "Scaramanga" played by Christopher Lee in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974).
To date, the beautiful Maud Adams has appeared in three James Bond films.....the other two performances were as the lead villain in Octopussy (1983) and as an extra in A View to a Kill (1985). She has appeared in numerous TV specials on the Bond series of films, and also played the love interest of kooky Bruce Dern in Tattoo (1981). In the late 1990s, Adams had a regular role on a Swedish TV soap opera; however, she has not been seen on cinema screens since late 1996.
Has appeared in three Bond movies (the only Bond Girl to do so). She starred in Octopussy (1983), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and appeared as an extra in a crowd scene in A View to a Kill (1985).
Britt Ekland
Britt Ekland was born in Sweden and grew up to be the poster girl for beautiful, big-eyed Scandinavian blondes. She attended a drama school and then joined a traveling theater group. With her looks as her passport, Britt entered films and became a star in Italy. When Peter Sellers met her in a hotel, he fell hard for her and they soon married. The combination of Sellers' stardom and her stunning beauty contributed to her fame (the fact that Sellers suffered a heart attack in bed on their wedding night didn't hurt, either). She appeared in two films with her husband: Caccia alla volpe (1966) (aka "After the Fox"), written by Neil Simon, and the forgettable The Bobo (1967). Her claim to fame would come as the young girl who invented the striptease in The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968). After that, she appeared in a string of movies that were built around her looks and not much else. She did appear in some first-rate productions over the years, though, two of them being Get Carter (1971) and the cult classic The Wicker Man (1973). The high point in her career would be her role as Bond babe Mary Goodnight in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). After her much publicized breakup with rocker Rod Stewart in 1977, Britt continued to make movies--both features and made-for-TV films--and tried the stage. By that time, the quality of her film projects had decreased markedly, and she was reduced to appearing in things like Fraternity Vacation (1985) and Beverly Hills Vamp (1988

Lost her mother in December 2005 to Alzheimer's Disease after a lengthy illness. Britt is currently involved with the Alzheimer's Disease Association trying to spread awareness, etc., of this illness.
Her voice was dubbed by Annie Ross in The Wicker Man (1973).
She was pregnant at the time she was filming The Wicker Man (1973), and as a result, a body double had to be used for some of the rear shots during the sequence where her character is dancing around naked and singing in an attempt to seduce Edward Woodward's character.
