vintagefemme Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Britt Ekland (born Britt-Marie Eklund on October 6, 1942) is a Swedish actress, long resident in the UK. 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).A much underated actress she was excellent in The Night They Raided Minskys(1968) and played the part of Mariella Novotny in Scandal(1989) with considerable relish. In the 1970s she was one of the most photographed and talked about celebrities in the world and in 1980 her autobiography "True Britt" was published.This inspired kiss and tell tales about Ekland including Simon Turners disputed allegation that Ekland liked to dress him in her clothes and make up and McKeown's subsequently retracted tales of group romps and an affair with Ekland's daughter Victoria. She was portrayed by Charlize Theron in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004). Theron invited her to be her date at the Cannes Film Festival, and she became emotional when she saw the film for the first time.[1] Quote
