Britt Ekland Tribute

Here are two funny songs, performed by Dorothy Collins and Barbara Moore, chosen to underline the sublime beauty of Britt Ekland.
Britt Ekland (born in 1942 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish actress long resident in the United Kingdom. She is best known for her role of "Mary Goodnight" in the Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun", her marriage to actor Peter Sellers, and her high-profile social life. Britt Ekland became famous overnight as a result of her 1964 whirlwind romance and marriage to British actor and comedian, Peter Sellers, who proposed after seeing her photograph in the paper. She stood by him after he suffered a series of massive heart attacks shortly after their marriage. Ekland was stepmother to Sellers' children Sarah and Michael (who died of heart attack at about the same age as his father). In January 1965 they had a daughter, Victoria. The couple made two films together, "After the Fox" in 1966 and "The Bobo" in 1967, before divorcing the following year (1968). Her notable film appearances include "The Night They Raided Minsky's", "Baxter", "The Double Man", "Get Carter", and the 1973 cult film "The Wicker Man". She had been director Roman Polanski's first choice for the lead in "Rosemary's Baby" (1968) because he thought she would contrast well with the film's dark undertones. The studio preferred Mia Farrow, however, who had become a star on the enormously popular night-time soap opera "Peyton Place" (1964). She would later stand as maid of honor for Sharon Tate at her marriage to Polanski. She appeared on stage as a cast member in "Grumpy Old Women Live", in December 2007 participated in the Swedish reality show "Stjärnorna på slottet" ("The stars at the castle") and in December 2007 and January 2008 she starred in "Cinderella" at Swindon's Wyvern Theatre. She appeared as a guest on the top rated British daytime television show "Loose Women", in January 2008. She also had a much-publicized romance with rock star Rod Stewart; they were introduced in 1975 by Joan Collins and lived together for over two years, with Ekland giving up her career to focus on the relationship. From 1979-1981 she dated and became engaged to Girl frontman and future L.A. Guns singer Phil Lewis. In 1984 she married rock musician Slim Jim Phantom, who was almost two decades her junior. They had a son, Thomas Jefferson (born in 1988), and divorced in 1992. In the 1970s Ekland was one of the most photographed and talked about celebrities in the world and in 1980 her best-selling autobiography, "True Britt", was published. In 2004 Ekland was portrayed by Charlize Theron in "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers". Theron invited her to be her date at the Cannes Film Festival, where she became highly emotional when she saw the film. The actress is fluent in English, French, and German, in addition to her native Swedish. She also recorded one EP.

She is my favorite Bond Girl; she was a beautiful woman, Dr Britt Borden

the hottest woman ever

[LesbianVampireLover]

She embodied the best of the sixties gals, the hot girls who always graced the centerfolds of Playboy magazine. I highly recommend the 1973 film "The Wicker Man" to see Britt at the height of her beauty, where she first appeared with Christopher Lee before "The Man With The Golden Gun".
