New Star Confirmed for Destination Bond
Shane Rimmer has been replaced in Destination Bond’s proceedings by Martine Beswicke. Martine appeared in two of Sean Connery’s Bond movies, From Russia with Love and also Thunderball. She played Zora in From Russia With Love and Paula Caplan in Thunderball. One of her biggest screen appearances was in the starring role in Hammer’s Dr Jeckyll & Sister Hyde.
Martine is quite unique, in that she has appeared in three Bond films: the only ‘Bond Girl’ – aside from the actresses playing Moneypenny – to do so.
A former Miss Jamaica, Martine was selected as one of Maurice Binder’s dancing girls in the opening credits of Dr No. This lead to her being cast the following year in From Russia With Love as one of the gypsy fighters, Zora.
She then returned, along with director Terence Young, two years later as Paula Caplan in Thunderball, ensuring her an enduring place in Bond fan’s hearts.
Outside of Bond, Martine appeared in films such as One Million Years BC, Prehistoric Women and Hammer’s Dr Jeckyll AND Sister Hyde (playing Sister Hyde).
TV work includes Days of Our Lives, Santa Barbara, The Fall Guy, Hart To Hart, Fantasy Island and Danger Man.
