Britt Ekland Detailed Biography -

Actress Britt Ekland, born in Sweden on October 6, 1942, studied drama and joined theater at school. With her husband, Peter Sellers, she played in After the Fox in 1966 and The Bobo in 1967. Britt was one of the judges in the Miss Universe pageant in 1976. She appeared in The Children in 1990 as Lady Zinnia Wrench. She had credits in around 55 movies, including Cold Heat (1989). Britt got his hit when he appeared in The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974 as Bond babe Mary Goodnight. Not to be confused with several other Nordic sex symbols - it is hard not to confuse her with, say, Elke Sommer - she, somewhat surprisingly, hung on for a quarter-century after her showy starring role in The Night They Raided Minsky's (US, d. William Friedkin, 1968). Of her 40-odd films, about 15 were British, most famously the gangster classic, Get Carter (d. Mike Hodges, 1971), the (oc)cult horror, The Wicker Man (d. Robin Hardy, 1973) and the Profumo-based Scandal (d. Michael Caton-Jones, 1988). An acceptable actress, she became more famous for her off-screen life, including marriage to Peter Sellers (1964-68), with whom she appeared in After the Fox (1966, US/It) and The Bobo (1967), and a tempestuous, headlining liaison with Rod Stewart.
