Britt Ekland | 6/8/1942 | 78
Britt Ekland has been successful in both her native Sweden and in the United States. She began her career in the 1960s, appearing in minor and uncredited roles. Her first on-screen role was in G.I. Blues in 1960. Her marriage to famous actor Peter Sellers in 1964 increased her profile dramatically. Moreover, she also appeared alongside Sellers in A Carol for Another Christmas, The Bobo, and After the Fox. Even as they separated in 1968, Ekland was on her way to even greater fame.
She then established herself as a sex symbol during the 1970s, starting with Get Carter. Her most prominent role was in the 1973 horror flick The Wicker Man. She became a Bond girl through her appearance in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. While the film received a mixed reception, she credited her appearance there for cementing her status as a blonde bombshell. Since then, she has ventured into theater and television in Sweden, Britain, and America.
