Ursula Andress

Last Updated - 11/2/10

Born: March 19, 1936 in Ostermundigen, Bern, Switzerland

Hammer film(s): She (1965)

Other notable roles: Dr. No (1962); The 10th Victim (1965); Casino Royale (1967)

Most known for her role as Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Ursula set a standard that few Bond girls have ever been able to live up to.  Her English acting career was rather brief, and even then most of the time her voice was dubbed, the true highlight of her career is ironically when she first became a real star.  No one will ever think of Ursula as an outstanding actress, she'll forever been remembered only for her looks and that unforgettable entrance from the sea, but maybe that's not such a bad thing, because she definitely will never be forgotten.

Hotness Rating: 10/10
Ursula's career is completely based on her beauty, there's no question that she's drop dead gorgeous the real question is in her talent.

Acting Rating: 5/10
I've never been impressed with Ursula in terms of her acting skills, she usually extremely wooden, emotionless, dry and cold.  Most of her English films are dubbed so her physical performance means a whole lot more, and its not there.

Average Hammer Film Rating: 5/10
Her lone Hammer film leaves much to be desired, visually it's pretty impressive, as for everything else I was quite unimpressed.
