Actors - Luciana Paluzzi


Luciana Paluzzi (born June 10th, 1931 in Rome, Italy), is a redheaded Italian actress famous in the 1950s and 1960s, most notably for being a sex symbol and for playing SPECTRE assassin Fiona Volpe in the fourth James Bond film "Thunderball
".

Paluzzi's very first film was an uncredited walk-on part in "Three Coins in a Fountain" in 1954. She went on to appear in many movies, most of which were made in her native Italy. In her early films, she is credited as Luciana Paoluzzi.

Even though Paluzzi had an extensive resume before and after her brush with James Bond, audiences worldwide still remember her best as the sexy and deadly "Thunderball" villainess Fiona Volpe. Paluzzi originally auditioned for the part of the lead Bond girl: Dominetta "Domino" Palazzi. But the produers eventually found former Miss France Claudine Auger
for the role (and changing the Domino character from an Italian woman to a French woman: Dominique Derval). Paluzzi was crestfallen when she found out she didn't get the part of Domino, but rejoiced when she found out her consolatory prize was the part of the "bad girl", Fiona Volpe, which she said was "more fun to play".

Years later, Paluzzi admitted that being a Bond girl
is a double edged sword. She was amazed at the level of fame, publicity and recognition she got from "Thunderball"; but as a result of being in such an outlandish film, she was taken less seriously as an actress by her peers.
