Britt Ekland: Golden Gun
built 634 days ago
Britt Ekland "It was one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done," says Ekland, of her comic turn as Bond's Girl Friday Mary Goodnight in 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun. "But it did nothing for my career." Perhaps not, though the Swedish-born actress did eventually turn up in 1989's Scandal as a decadent English socialite sporting gold-painted nipples. "But you can get more publicity [from a Bond film] than you've ever had in your life," she says.

Ekland appeared in the 1974 James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Other notable film appearances include The Night They Raided Minsky's, Baxter (co-starring Patricia Neal), The Double Man, Get Carter (in the 1999 BBC television series I Love the '70s she hosted the 1971 episode in homage to her role as "Anna" in the film), and the 1973 cult film The Wicker Man (for which her voice was dubbed to disguise her Swedish-accented English).
Miss Mary Goodnight played by Britt Ekland is the final Bond Girl to appear in The Man With The Golden Gun. Miss Goodnight appears to assist Bond when he is following Andrea Anders in Hong Kong.
