Martine Beswick (born 26 September 1941) is an English actress and model, best known for her roles in two James Bond films.
Beswick was born on 26 September 1941 in Port Antonio, Jamaica to English parents.
Beswick is best known for her two appearances in the James Bond film series. Although she auditioned for the first Bond film Dr. No, she was cast in the second film From Russia with Love as the fiery gypsy girl, Zora. She engaged in the famous "catfight" scene with her rival Vida (played by former Miss Israel Aliza Gur). She was incorrectly billed as "Martin Beswick" in the title sequence. Beswick then appeared as the ill-fated Paula Caplan in Thunderball. She had been away from the Caribbean so long that she was required to sunbathe constantly for two weeks before filming, in order to look like a local.
Martine went on to appear in One Million Years B.C. opposite Raquel Welch, with whom she also engaged in a catfight. She then appeared in various Hammer Studio low-budget films, most notably Prehistoric Women and the gender-bending Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, in which she played the titular villainess. She played Adelita in the well-regarded Spaghetti Western, A Bullet for the General in 1967 opposite Klaus Kinski and Gian Maria Volontè. She starred as the Queen of Evil in Oliver Stone's 1974 directorial debut Seizure, aka Queen of Evil. In the 1970s, Beswick moved to Hollywood and regularly appeared on both the big screen and small screen. She made numerous guest appearances in television series including Sledge Hammer!, Fantasy Island, The Fall Guy, Mannix, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Falcon Crest. In 1980, she played the lead role in the comedy film The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood.

TAKE THE ULTIMATE JAMES BOND QUIZ: http://jamesbondradio.com/take-the-quiz It’s a red letter day at James Bond Radio. We have our very first Bond girls on the show! First up we have The Spy Who Loved Me’s Caroline Munro regaling us with stories of working with Sir Roger Moore, Richard Kiel and Lewis Gilbert. Then we talk to two time Bond girl, Martine Beswick who we all know as Zora the fighting gypsy girl in From Russia With Love and for her turn as Thunderball’s Paula Caplan.
Well, here's an oddity! An unsold pilot for a proposed 1967 sci-fi actioner out of the UK. Eye-popping costumes and sets belie an overall cheesy but charming tone. Cast of familiar but un-nameable Brit character actors, only Bond-Girl Martine Beswick and a very young Derek Fowlds stand out. Beware of LOGIK! You have been warned...

Martine Beswick (Zora) fighting Aliza Gur (Vida)! "The gypsy girlfight is FRWL's most infamous and sadistic scene. Never has a Bond movie felt so much like a snuff film. Where most movies poke fun at "catfights," this film puts it on a level of gladiatorial match. They don't say the girls are fighting to death, but they don't say they aren't! In fact, the fight between the two women "in love with the same man" is so savage (or so arousing?) that Bond asks for it to be stopped. Strange that the only way we're "saved" from this scene is by an explosion of good old-fashioned gunplay. Stranger yet is the relief we feel at the arrival of this "safe" movie violence. How sexually charged is this scene? When From Russia With Love aired on ABC throughout the '70s and '80s, the ENTIRE gypsy camp seq...
