Ursula Andress
BM Hall of Fame Induction Year: 2005
IMDb Page
Contributions: Ursula Andress was born on March 19, 1936 in Bern, Switzerland. Andress can be found in countless magazines, and it would be no shock if a caption under any of her photos read the word "sexiest." She has appeared in few movies known in the US, but among the famous ones are "Clash of the Titans," "Casino Royale", and (of course) "Dr. No". It is well known that her thick accent caused producers to have her voice dubbed in "Dr. No". Andress managed to be an unknown in Hollywood until cast in the first James Bond movie, which opened the door to many other unknown actresses to become the famous Bond Girl. Andress portrayed Honey Ryder in "Dr. No," a young girl who meets Bond while hunting for sea shells. Perhaps the most famous image of a female in movie history is when Andress surfaces from the ocean wearing a sexy white bikini and a knife strapped to her hip. From the high success of her character, it has become tradition that every Bond film have a Bond girl sexier than the last, but none have managed to surpass Ursula Andress as Honey.
