Claudine
Auger
An alumnus of the Paris Drama Conservatory,
well-proportioned brunette actress Claudine Auger made her screen
debut in 1960. Five years later, she played Domino, mistress of master
villain Largo (Adolpho Celi), in the 007 epic Thunderball. The most
immediate by-product of Claudine's "overnight" stardom was
a Playboy spread and a guest shot on an American TV special starring
Danny Thomas and Bob Hope. After worthwhile roles in such trendy European
films as Triple Cross (1966) and The Killing Game (1967), Claudine
Auger's starring career settled into such time-killers as Black Belly
of the Tarantula (1972). |
