Maud Adams

Has appeared in three Bond movies (the only Bond Girl to do so). She starred in Octopussy (1983), L'Homme au pistolet d'or (1974) and appeared as an extra in a crowd scene in Dangereusement vôtre (1985).
She enjoyed working with Christopher Lee, who played the villain in L'Homme au pistolet d'or (1974). She had no idea that he understood Swedish, until he caught her and Britt Ekland having a secret conversation in Swedish. Fortunately, the two Swedish actresses hadn't said anything that was too damaging.
She became good friends with fellow Swede Britt Ekland during the filming of the James Bond film L'Homme au pistolet d'or (1974). Their leading man Roger Moore affectionately nicknamed them 'Mud' and 'Burt', respectively. He played many tricks on them and told them X-rated jokes. Their director Guy Hamilton nicknamed them 'au pair girls' because they would talk to each other in Swedish.
At age 37 in Octopussy (1983), Maud Adams was the second oldest Bond girl, just being beaten by Honor Blackman, who was 38 in Goldfinger (1964).
Roger Moore said that she was his favorite leading lady in the James Bond films. He also enjoyed working with Britt Ekland. All three worked together on L'Homme au pistolet d'or (1974).

I had never been in a situation of this scale before; it was pretty nerve-wracking. I had never received this kind of attention. I was just completely overwhelmed when they had the first press conference before we'd even started shooting L'Homme au pistolet d'or (1974). I remember walking in just expecting a few journalists to talk to me but instead it was this giant room crammed full of journalists from around the world. Suddenly I realized just how big the Bond world was. I was pretty intimidated and beleaguered. But Roger Moore had handled this in the past and was pretty cool about it all. He was very sweet and supportive. [interview with David Giammarco, Elle Canada, November 2002]
[on why her first marriage to photographer Roy Adams ended in 1975] I was more successful than Roy, and it ultimately broke up our marriage. He knew how to entertain, how to be witty, he took care of that for me. I was divorced from him, but for a long time I was divorced from myself, too.
[on her James Bond, Roger Moore]: 007 may have saved the world but it was Roger who saved the Bond franchise, giving it a sense of humor.
