He disappeared during World War II. She has a brother and four sisters. At 18, Andress left Switzerland and went to Rome, Italy where she had walk - on parts in three Italian films. Within a year she came to California and was signed to a contract with Paramount Pictures, but the contract resulted in no acting roles due to her inability to learn English at the time. Career Andress became famous as Honey Ryder, a shell diver and James Bond 's woman of desire in Dr. No ( 1962 ), the first Bond movie. In what became an iconic moment in cinematic and fashion history, she rose out of the Caribbean Sea in a white bikini sporting a large diving knife on her hip. Due to her heavy Swiss - German accent, the character 's voice was provided by Nikki van der Zyl, while the calypso was sung by Diana Coupland. The scene made Andress a `` quintessential '' Bond girl. Andress later said that she owed her career to that white bikini : `` This bikini made me into a success. As a result of starring in Dr. No as the first Bond girl, I was given the freedom to take my pick of future roles and to become financially independent. '' The bikini she wore in the film sold at auction in 2001 for £ 41,125 ( $59,755 ). In 2003, in a UK Survey by Channel 4, her entrance in Dr. No was voted # 1 in `` the 100 Greatest Sexy Moments ''.

In 1965, she posed nude for Playboy ; it would be the first of seven times she was pictured in the magazine over the next fifteen years. When asked why she had agreed to do the Playboy shoot, Andress replied coolly, `` Because I 'm beautiful. '' She went on to appear nude or semi-nude in nearly all of her film roles between 1969 and 1979, earning her the nickname `` Ursula Undress.
