Claudine Auger started out as a model and became the first runner-up in Miss World way back 1958. Yet she rapidly developed her talent for acting, and landed roles including The Iron Mask.

She played a role as Domino in a 1965 James Bond movie Thunderball. She was the first female co-star to the James Bond character, which was known as a Bond Girl.

Bond Girls were rarely given recognition for their acting talents in James Bond movies. However, Claudine approached the role as she would if she was Molière at a prestigious theater.

According to Claudine Auger, it was “a game, the same thing“.

After the 1965 James Bond movie Thunderball, she went on to have a successful career in French and Italian cinemas from the late 1960s to 1970s.
