She once said, reflecting on her time as a Bond Girl: “At the time I didn’t know what I know now, and to be honest, who would turn that role down, really?
“Nobody would. All you have to think to yourself is, ‘Could I have been better in the part?’ That’s all you can say to yourself because turning the part down would have been ridiculous, you know? I mean nobody would do that, nobody.”
She added: “I was very young and I did what I felt was the right choice to make.”
