She is Maud Adams.

The star stands out for being the only actress to have appeared in three James Bond movies.

In the first two - The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) and Octopussy (1983) - she had sizeable roles as the eye candy who dazzled the spy.

But in A View to a Kill (1985) Adams had only a very small cameo while walking on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

All three of the films starred Roger Moore as 007. 

Adams got her start as a model in New York City and Paris, posing for magazines and walking fashion runways, before she moved on to acting.

When in Hollywood she picked up small roles in TV shows such as Kojak and Hawaii 5-0 (1977) as well as Starsky And Hutch (1978).

And then her Bond movie role came around.

In The Man with the Golden Gun she played the hauntingly beautiful mistress of the villain, played by Christopher Lee. Unfortunately she met an early death after confronting British spy Bond.

In Octopussy Maud played the clever and mysterious title character who is a wealthy businesswoman and smuggler.

Because she has a previous connection to Bond, the beauty does the spy the favor of letting him hide out at her floating palace in India which is littered with young beauties in skimpy attire.

And then she helps Bond by trapping criminal Khan; they end up in each other's arms at the end of the movie.

Adams had a much smaller part in A View To A Kill as the lead role went to the late Tanya Roberts who passed away suddenly in January 2021.

The Scandinavian star is seen as an extra in a crowd of people at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

The dark-haired beauty with the high cheekbones can't be missed among the tourists: She has on sunglasses and a tan jacket as she holds hands with a man.

That quick cameo in the movie came after she was visiting producers on set with her boyfriend and they asked them to walk through a scene.

In 2014 the performer was asked by From Sweden With Love about how she felt when she was cast in a Bond movie.

'I never hesitated. It was such a treat to be able to once again work with Roger Moore, the producer Cubby Broccoli and the crew I had come to like so much. Being offered the title role of Octopussy also was a real honor,' she remarked.

In 1983 she appeared in Octopussy in which she played a smuggler who helped James Bond

She added she 'enjoyed' both Man With The Golden Gun and Octopussy because she was 'lucky to have Roger Moore as "my" Bond.'

Adams said Moore was 'always very supportive, a real team player and kept everybody in good spirits during the filming.'

As far as her time on set, Maud said she was 'just trying to focus on doing my job and hoped for the best as I really didn’t understand just how big Bond was in the beginning.

'It was a bit daunting at first,' began the 5ft9in star.

'When I realized what I had gotten involved with and also to get so much personal attention.'

The build up was big, she said: 'I had never worked on a movie where there was so much expectation, before we’d even shot one frame. 

'Also, I never expected "Bond" to become such a long-running franchise and that my participation would have such a lasting effect on my professional life.

'Kudos to Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who deserve a lot of credit for keeping Bond relevant, meeting and often exceeding, the continued high expectations every time a new film is released.'

After Octopussy went on to pop up in numerous projects including Mission: Impossible (1989). And she appeared in the hit film Rollerball with Caan.

These days she divides her time between California and her native Sweden.

She has been married to her current spouse, retired judge Charles Rubin, since 1999 after her first marriage to photographer Roy Adams (1966 to 1975) ended in divorce.
