#TBT: The Bombshell Beauty of Ursula Andress

With the next 007 installment, Spectre, set to hit theaters this fall, all eyes may be on Léa Seydoux, but let’s take a moment to salute one of the most memorable Bond babes to date, Ursula Andress, who turns 79 today. Emerging from the Caribbean surf with her voluptuous bronze curves wrapped in that famed white bikini as the shell diver Honey Ryder in 1962’s Dr. No, the Swiss stunner secured a bombshell status on par with Raquel Welch and Brigitte Bardot—one that that led to films like **Woody Allen’**s 1965 romp What’s New Pussycat? Of course, it wasn’t just the camera that fell in love with her plush lips, razor-sharp cheekbones, and smoldering gaze—but also a string of paramours from Marlon Brando to Jean-Paul Belmondo. In honor of the birthday girl, here’s a look back at her best beauty moments.
