Here to bring the Summer of 2000 to a dramatic close is Jeff Marshall's latest "Calendar Girl", original Bond bombshell Ursula Andress. Ursula's debut in Dr No had her emerging from the sea in a then-daring swimsuit, creating one of the most memorable images of the series and of film history in general. When that first Bond film exploded onto movie screens, the world found not only a new screen hero in Sean Connery, but ... a new standard for glamour and feminine allure in the person of Ursula Andress.
