About the Author

Eunice Gayson is best remembered for co-starring with Sean Connery in the first two James Bond films, but her career also included appearances in such cult classics as The Saint and The Avengers, as well as starring roles in lavish stage productions of The Sound of Music and Sondheim's Into the Woods. She married her first husband live on American television. With her second husband she had a daughter who appeared in the James Bond film GoldenEye. Now semi-retired from acting, Eunice divides her time between houses in London and Spain.
