Biografía

Was interviewed for the lead role in the James Bond film 007: Misión espacial (1979) but lost the role to Lois Chiles. Nevertheless, she impressed director John Glen who cast her in the lead for the next Bond film 007: Sólo para tus ojos (1981). Even though she received good notices from critics and moviegoers for her performance as a revenge-seeking heroine, the producers excluded her from the film's publicity tour because of an earlier interview she gave where she said Roger Moore was old enough to be her father rather than a romantic lead, due to the thirty-year age difference. Over the years, she has avoided Bond events and interviews about the film.

Spokesmodel for Chanel in the 1990s.

She owns vineyards in Pantelleria, Italy, and speaks Italian fluently.

She was the girlfriend of late producer Jean-Pierre Rassam. They have a son, Dimitri Rassam, who is also a producer.

Was formerly engaged to Gérard Depardieu from 2003 to 2005. Has been with him since 1997 except for a break up of a few weeks in the summer of 2002.
