Biography
Bond girl Maud Adams was born Maud Wikstrom in Sweden in 1945. After working as a fashion model and marrying her first husband in 1966, she started her acting career in Hollywood. She was the only woman to appear in three
Bond films: as Andrea in
The Man With the Golden Gun (1974), as the title mystery woman in
Octopussy (1983), and in an uncredited role in
A View to a Kill (1985). Her other film credits include
Norman Jewison's futuristic action film
Rollerball and the erotic drama
Tattoo with
Bruce Dern. During the rest of the '80s, she mostly did bad TV movies and theatrical thrillers. Only a few have survived on home video, such as the comic strip-based adventure
Jane and the Lost City and the costume adventure
Intimate Power with F. Murray Abraham.
In the late '90s, Adams remarried and worked in television back in Sweden. She was the host and director of Kafé Luleå and a regular cast member on Radioskugga and Vita Lögner. In the States, she could be seen offering commentary in numerous
James Bond-related documentaries. She was also a guest star on an episode of
That '70s Show. In 2003, she offered up her celebrity personality to the convention-goers of Spyfest '03 in Long Beach, CA. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
