In addition to boosting Dr. No — thereby launching the 007 franchise — the scene helped Andress’ acting career.
She later said: “This bikini made me into a success. As a result of starring in Dr No as the first Bond girl I was given the freedom to take my pick of future roles and to become financially independent.”
She offered the quote after finding the bikini in an attic and putting it up for sale through Christie’s in 2001. It fetched over $52,000.
She and the bikini are seen above with Dr. No director Terence Young, center, and Sean Connery.
