Biography
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). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
