Ursula Andress appearence at Autographica this weekend, London

28-Oct-2005 • Event

(Press Release): On the last weekend of October a unique meeting of mind and body will take place at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow, London. Colonel Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo 11, the first moon landing, and the first and ultimate Bond girl Ursula Andress will meet at Autographica for the Worlds Largest Autograph Show.

Fans from around the globe will come together on October 28-30 in order to meet some of the greatest names from the space, film, television and sport worlds. The Radisson Edwardian Hotel at Heathrow will become the centre of attention for autograph collectors of all kinds for three days of signature heaven.

Buzz Aldrin and Charles Duke, two of the 12 men to have walked upon the surface of the moon, together with Ursula Andress and 10 other James Bond guests, plus around 25 others, will make themselves available to collectors over the three days. Guests will be signing books, photos and memorabilia, and also giving lectures or Q and A sessions.

The celebrity guests will all be attending a special Gala dinner on the Saturday evening, which will include a Charity auction to raise money for the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, guest speeches and after dinner entertainment will follow.

This will be the first time that Ursula Andress has ever attended such an event, and is a rare visitor to these shores from her home in Rome, and is sure to be in high demand from Bond fans.

Col. Aldrin's visit will be the first time he has signed items at a public event outside of his native United States. This visit coincides with the recent news that NASA has announced plans to return men to the moon no later than 2020, and no doubt Col Aldrin will be asked for his thoughts on this new venture.

Ursula Andress appeared in the very first James Bond, Dr. No, as Honey Ryder and also starred in the "alternative" James Bond film, Casino Royale, which coincidentally is to be the title of the next James Bond Film due for release in November 2006. No doubt fans will want to know her thoughts on the new James Bond Daniel Craig.

Harvey Stephens, Damien from The Omen, will also be attending. This will be a very rare appearance from him, as he has shied away from publicity for over 25 years.
