Oskar Werner

Oskar Werner (November 13, 1922 - October 23, 1984) was an Austrian actor.

Born Oskar Josef Bschliessmayer in Vienna, he was an Austrian stage actor, starring in the William Shakespeare repertoire, until his film debut in Der Engel mit der Posaune in 1948. In 1951 he starred in the English language movie Decision Before Dawn, in which he played a German prisoner of war who spies for his captors.

In 1961 he starred in François Truffaut's Jules et Jim, and became an international star as a result. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1965 for Ship of Fools. Other starring roles were in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Fahrenheit 451, and The Shoes of the Fisherman. Werner also played the murderer opposite Peter Falk in an episode of the Columbo TV series entitled "Playback" (1975).

Sadly, both his decline as an actor and eventually his death of a heart attack in 1984 were caused by many years of excessive drinking.

Werner also played the murderer opposite Peter Falk in an episode of the Columbo TV series entitled "Playback" (1975). In 1980 she had a son with actor Harry Hamlin. Other starring roles were in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Fahrenheit 451, and The Shoes of the Fisherman. Derek then went on to marry the Andress look-alike, Bo Derek. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1965 for Ship of Fools. The marriage ended in divorce in 1966.

Born Oskar Josef Bschliessmayer in Vienna, he was an Austrian stage actor, starring in the William Shakespeare repertoire, until his film debut in Der Engel mit der Posaune in 1948.

"No," replies Bond, admiring her suntanned body barely covered in a white bikini, "I'm just looking." (The combination of sea, shells, and a stunning blonde has led some critics to trace the inspiration for this scene to Botticelli's Birth of Venus). "Looking for shells?". "What are you doing here?" she asks. No became one of the most famous Bond moments. Rising out of the Caribbean Sea singing a beautiful Calypso and tossing back her blonde hair, she spots Bond.

Her stunning good looks served her well, as her introduction in Dr. No (1962), the first James Bond film. Fluent in English, French, Italian, German and Swiss-German, she appeared as "Honey Ryder", James Bond's object of desire in Dr. Andress was a major sex symbol of the 1960s.

She was born in Ostermundigen, Berne, Switzerland. Ursula Andress (born 19 March 1936) is an actress.
