RIP NADJA REGIN...


You were super sexy and super cool, wearing the envious emblem of starring in two Connery Bonds: "From Russia with Love" (as Kerim Bey's gal) and "Goldfinger" (as Bonita).


Those weren't your only cinematic jaunts. There was "The Magic Sword '50"; "Runaway" (aka "Runaway Killer"); "The Fur Collar"; "Goodbye, Franziska": "The Man Without a Body"; the comical "Don't Panic, Chaps!" and those dusky "Edgar Wallace Mysteries" installments, "Solo for Sparrow" and "Downfall". 


On television, you shared your charms as generously with "Danger Man"; "The Saint"; "Richard the Lionheart"; and the pragmatic "Dixon of Dock Green".

You even played the role of publisher (with help from your sister, Jelena) and author, having penned "The Victim and the Fools"; "Recollections"; and a perky kiddie tale, "The Puppet Planet".


Your magnetic talents delighted many, and there's no doubt the heavens will brighten a hundredfold now that your ebullient spirit shines among them.

GOODBYE, EUNICE GAYSON...


As the first, on-screen Bond girl, you added immeasurable charm to "Dr. No" and thereafter, "From Russia With Love".

Your film career was also fruitful and impressive, with roles in "Revenge of Frankenstein" (which also made you an official Hammer Horror girl); "To Have and To Hold" (non Hammer Horror); "Last Man to Hang?"; "Zarak"; and "Miss Robin Hood".


You were also a treat to see in such British, spy classics as  "Danger Man"; "The Saint"; and "The Avengers". 

You reminded us that a woman can be talented, classy and attractive: an important message in a time when the likes of the Miss America crown frowns upon such. Nonetheless, your legacy stands as a paragon of womanhood, to be relished and respected for decades onward.
