Caroline Munro mini-bio: Caroline Munro is a British actress and model best known for her many appearances in science fiction and action films of the 1970s and 1980s. According to Munro, her career took off in 1966 when her mother and photographer friend entered some headshots of her to Britain's The Evening News "Face of the Year" contest. "I wanted to do art. Art was my love. I went to Art School in Brighton but I was not very good at it. I just did not know what to do. I had a friend at the college who was studying photography and he needed somebody to photograph and he asked me. Unbeknownst to me, he sent the photographs to a big newspaper in London. The famous fashion photographer, David Bailey, was conducting a photo contest and my picture won."

This led to modeling chores, her first job being for Vogue Magazine at the age of 17. She moved to London to pursue top modeling jobs and became a major cover girl for fashion and TV ads while there. Decorative bit parts came her way in such films as Casino Royale and Where's Jack? (1969). One of her many photo ads got her a screen test and a one-year contract at Paramount where she won the role of Richard Widmark's daughter in the comedy/western A Talent for Loving (1969). 1969 proved to be a good year for Caroline, because it was then that she began a lucrative 10 year relationship with Lamb's Navy Rum. Caroline's image was plastered all over the country, and this would eventually lead to her next big break.

I thought that Caroline was in the Bond film "The spy who loved me"? But I could be wrong...

What a beauty! I was in love with her in 1976 when she made that movie "People That Time Forgot" or something like that. Made some vampire movies. Was in "For Your Eyes Only" a Bond film.
