TANIA MALLET RIP

Tania Mallet, one of the Bond girls has passed over age 77. Tania, was a model and an actress best known as the character Tilly Masterson in the film "Goldfinger".  It was her only major film role.

Although I remember her being a model the most when I was living and working in London, and that's why her name pinged out at me when I saw her obituary in the Telegraph.

Her profile says that she turned down film roles due to the restrictions that film contracts placed upon her and that she could earn more working as a model. At the time she was supporting her mother and her brother's education costs. Actress Helen Mirren was her cousin.
