Maud Adams signing event in Orlando, USA this weekend

04-Feb-2006 • Event

Roger Moore made seven James Bond movies. Maud Adams appeared in three, more than any other female in the stylish series that has featured four actors as Bond in 20 movies since 1962.

"The question I get most often is, 'Who was the best Bond?' " she said. "That is a silly question, because what am I supposed to say? Roger Moore is my James Bond. I adore Roger."

Adams will sign autographs and have her photograph taken with fans from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Uncle Al's Time Capsule, 140 E. Fourth Ave., Mount Dora - reports the Orlando Sentinel.

After success as a model in her native Sweden, Adams modeled in Europe before coming to the United States. She was surprised to be asked to appear in the 1970 movie The Boys in the Band, in which she played a model.

"To me, it seemed like a fluke," she said. "In Sweden, actors study to be actors. It seemed unreal."

Next, she was offered the part of Andrea Anders in The Man With the Golden Gun, Moore's second film as the suave secret agent, which was released in 1974.

She went from "Bond girl" to arch-villain in the 1983 Bond film Octopussy, in which she played the title role, a mysterious smuggler.

In Moore's final film as Bond in 1984, A View to a Kill, she was an uncredited extra in a San Francisco crowd scene.

Adams also had major roles in the films Rollerball and the controversial Tattoo. She has many TV acting credits, in the U.S. as well as in Sweden, but she said she will always be linked to the Bond movies.

"Nobody thought it would hang on for so long," she said. "It gives you an identity for life."
