6. Claudine Auger
Seventy-four-year-old French actress Claudine Auger earned the title of Miss France Monde and was also named the first runner-up in the Miss World contest in 1958. While on vacation in the Bahamas, writer-producer Kevin McClory saw Auger and recommended that she audition for the role of Dominique “Domino” Derval in his 1965 Bond film Thunderball. The role of Domino was originally to be an Italian woman, Dominetta Petacchi, but casting directors were so impressed with Auger that they rewrote the part as a French woman. Although she took English lessons, Auger’s voice was eventually dubbed over by Nikki van der Zyl. Her role as a Bond girl launched her into a successful European movie career, although she never made it big in the US.
