Oslo - Former Miss Norway, Julie Ege, who appeared in the 1969 Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", has died aged 64, reports said Wednesday.
The former model won the 1962 Norwegian beauty contest that provided a springboard for an international career.
She made her film debut in 1967 and appeared in several comedies and horror movies, including "Every Home Should Have One" that also featured British actor Marty Feldman. Other films were: "The Creatures the World Forgot" and "The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires". Other appearances include the Gluttony segment of "The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins".
In the 1980s she trained as a care worker and in 1998 completed a three-year course for nurses.
She suffered from cancer and had a mastectomy in the 1980s, a fact she was open about - just as she was with other details in her life according to a biography she penned in 2002.
Survivors include two children, a grandchild and her partner. The funeral was due to be held May 9, the Aftenbladet newspaper said.

I finally got to see " Anne of the Thousand Days"...and wow when Genevi?ve Bujold as Anne Boleyn delievers the following speech while holding counters to count days, weeks, months etc..it was just mind blowing speech...I was left speechless and had tears at the corners of my eyes!
Anne: For six years, this year, and this, and this, and this, I did not love him. And then I did. Then I was his. I can count the days I was his in hundreds.
[picks up day counter]
Anne: The days we bedded. Married. Were Happy. Bore Elizabeth. Hated. Lusted. Bore a dead child... which condemned me... to death. In all one thousand days. Just a thousand. strange. And of those thousand, one when we were both in love, only one, when our loves met and overlapped and were both mine and his. And when I no longer hated him, he began to hate me. Except for that one day.

"Belle Starr" was a cross between "Song of the South" & "Gone With The Wind"!!!
Very strange film! The ending was dragged out! & Gene Tierney looked as if she just woke froma bad dream!
-
I finally got to see "Belle Starr" W./Gene Tierney! The story is set in the Civil War and its aftermath. Basically Belle's family has lost their land to Yankees. Belle (Gene Tierney) marries Confederate guerilla leader Sam Starr (Randolph Scott) and they continue activities against exploiters until she is shot riding to alert Sam to a trap.
This was shown on Encore Western (05/06/08), and being the Gene Tierney fan I'am, alot of her films never play on TCM since she was under contract W./20th century fox, and since alot of her films are not on DVD, or Out-of-Print on VHS they are to find!
"Belle Starr" was a very silly film! It was almost a rip-off of "Gone with the Wind", or 20th century fox's answer to "GWTW". Very silly film, was some really bad acting! Still Gene looks great, and the costumes are nice, - but the whole thing is so unbelievable! She may have been a real life woman, but 20th century fox I don't think did her life justice!
Has anyone else seen this film?? Tell me what U think..??
