MINI BIO:

After a late introduction to international stardom by way of the film Dr. No, tigerish blonde Ursula Andress enjoyed 10 years as a top film glamor girl before her career seemed to submerge beneath her private love life.

Later there was a lengthy liaison with the French star Jean-Paul Belmondo and another with Hollywood star Harry Hamlin that produced a son in 1980.
