In 1980 she had a son with actor Harry Hamlin. In the same year, she also started a career as a singer of Chansons. Derek then went on to marry the Andress look-alike, Bo Derek. Afterwards further serial hits follow, like “The fast Gerti”, where she plays a taxi driver. The marriage ended in divorce in 1966. In 1985/86, she started a comeback in front of German-speaking audiences in the very poular TV serial “Kir Royal”.

She was married only once, in 1957 to actor/director John Derek. Between 1974 and 1982, she played the “Buhlschaft” in the play “Jedermannn” at the Salzburg Festival with Curd Jürgens and Maximilian Schell. No, but she used her own voice in Casino Royale.

In 1966, they married, after starting up their own film production company the previous year. 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. In 1963, Berger met Michael Verhoeven, son of the German film director Paul Verhoeven (not the Dutch Paul Verhoeven).

Her stunning good looks served her well, as her introduction in Dr. An offer for a series role, which would have brought an obligation of several years with itself, was the reason for their return to Germany.

Fluent in English, French, Italian, German and Swiss-German, she appeared as "Honey Ryder", James Bond's object of desire in Dr. Brauner used Senta Berger in several films, but soon she tired of musicals. Andress was a major sex symbol of the 1960s.
