The pretty blonde girl exercising with the astronaut trainees in the grounds of the Drax estate upon Bond's arrival by helicopter is introduced to James Bond during the following morning's pheasant shoot as Mademoiselle Deradier. Later in the temple caves, she watches without a trace of emotion as Bond struggles with and subsequently defeats Drax's pet python. Mademoiselle Deradier dies in outer space.

There was a casting in Paris where all models were invited. Model agencies sent their most beautiful girls to this casting. With nothing to loose I went on my own. When I saw all those beautiful girls with long black hair, I was certain I didn’t have a chance. I had short blond hair! Mr. Broccoli was sitting in a chair, looking at all the girls and I had a NO like so many other girls. Just when I left I bumped into the director, Lewis Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Broccoli had chosen me and I told him he had not. Mr. Gilbert then went up to Cubby and said: ”If you don’t take this girl, I won’t make your movie!” I got a contract for six months. During these six months we were not allowed to take other jobs. And that’s how I got in the movie.
