Marlohe confesó que consiguió la inspiración para interpretar a la malvada Sévérine en la antiheroína de Golden
The year 1962 saw the unknown Swiss beauty back on the set,
playing a small role in the first movie version of Ian Fleming's fanciful
"James Bond" espionaje novels, Agente 007 contra el doctor No (1962),
opposite Sean Connery. Because her Swiss/German accent was so strong, Andress'
entire performance had to be dubbed by a voiceover artist. Nevertheless, her
striking beauty and smoldering screen presence made a strong impression on
moviegoers, immediately establishing her as one of the most desired women in the
world and as an ornament to put on-screen alongside some of the most bankable
talent of the era, such as Elvis Presley in El ídolo de Acapulco (1963) and Dean
Martin in Cuatro tíos de Texas (1963). In 1965, she was one of several European
starlets to co-star in ¿Qué tal, Pussycat? (1965) -- a film that perhaps sums
up mid-'60s pop culture better than any other -- written by Woody Allen,
starring Allen and Peter Sellers, with music by Burt Bacharach, a title song
performed by Tom Jones and much on-screen sexual romping.
Andress appeared in many more racy-for-their time movies in
both the United States and Europe from the mid-'60s to the late '70s, including
La víctima número diez (1965), in which she wears a famously ballistic bra; Las
águilas azules (1966), where she is aptly cast as the sultry, insatiable wife
of an aristocratic World War I German general;Casino Royale (1967), a satirical
foray into the world of James Bond; Problemas extraconyugales (1968), about a
group of serially adulterous girlfriends; La estrella del sur (1969), in which
she plays the adventurous, uninhibited daughter of a West African mine owner;
Cincuenta millones y una mujer (1970), as a bank robbery accomplice involved in
a love triangle; Sol rojo (1971), in the role of a foul-mouthed prostitute
taken hostage by outlaws; La espía se desnuda (1975), as a stewardess who gets
caught up in a gang war between drug traffickers (but still finds plenty of
reasons to doff her clothing); La enfermera (1975), as a bombshell nurse hired
to titillate a doddering millionaire to death; Aventuras y amores de
Scaramouche (1976), in which she recreates her iconic entrance from "Dr.
No"; La montaña del dios caníbal (1978), in which she is infamously
stripped and slathered in orange paint by a pair of nubiles; and _The Fifth
Musketeer (1979), playing the alluring mistress of King Louis XIV.
Unmarried since 1966 when she divorced the controlling Derek
to be with French New Wave star Jean-Paul Belmondo, Andress played the field
for years, reportedly involved at various times with Dennis Hopper, Ryan
O'Neal, Fabio Testi, and Marcello Mastroianni. In 1979, she began what would be
a long-term romance with Harry Hamlin, her handsome young co-star from Furia de
titanes (1981) (in which she was cast, predictably, as "Aphrodite").
While subsequently traveling in India, Andress' belly began to swell out of her
clothing, and she felt very nauseous. What at first seemed a severe case of
"Delhi Belly" turned out to be pregnancy, her first and only, at age
43. She and Hamlin named the child, who was born in 1980, Dimitri Hamlin.
After the birth of her son, Andress scaled back her career,
which now focused mostly on European television and films, as she was raising
Dimitri in Rome. Her relationship with Hamlin ended in 1983, and she last
worked on a film in 2005.

Personal Quotes (10)
[on her leaving the
acting profession] I couldn't live up to it. So I chose to run away.
I was under contract to
Paramount. They wanted to make me into somebody which I was not. So I got so
scared and rebelled, so they threw me out of the studio.
It's a mystery. All I
did was wear this bikini in Agente 007 contra el doctor No (1962) - not even a
small one - and whoosh! Overnight, I made it.
To me, it's much more
moral to live with the man you love, without signing a piece of paper, than to
live legally in an atmosphere of boredom which can eventually turn to hate.
[on performing in the
nude] I've nothing against it. We're born this way.
What I look for in a
man isn't printable! I wouldn't want to shatter my cool Swiss image.
I adored Elvis; he was
the kindest man there was. At the beginning, I was not fond of him. You know,
you judge people by what you read about them. But Elvis was adorable, so sweet,
nice, and kind. We continued to be friends, and I saw him once or twice a year.
But he was a troubled person.
I don't like the Bond
movies now. I hate special effects; everything is done in special effects. I
like the real movies-on islands, an adventure story with some action, but not
action every second.
My home is the world. I
live a little in Spain, the U.S., Italy and Switzerland.
[in People magazine,
12/29/80] I'm nearly having a nervous breakdown. I am Swiss, and I want
everything precise, clean, perfect. Everybody is furious with me; I have no
time for anybody. I cry every day, I'm so upset. A baby takes 24 hours out of
every 24 hours -- I never imagined it would be so time-consuming. Never, never!
