Claudine Auger (Thunderball - Dominique "Domino" Derval)
This image features the French actress Claudine Auger in a promotional photo for the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. She played the character Dominique "Domino" Derval in the film, making her the first French "Bond girl".
The character's name was originally "Domino" Derval, but it was changed to "Dominetta Vitali" in the 1983 remake Never Say Never Again.
The film's promotion was extensive, with Auger and other actresses like Luciana Paluzzi and Martine Beswick being a significant part of the marketing.
Auger's voice was dubbed in post-production for the film, a common practice for some non-English speaking actors in the early Bond films.
In the film, Domino uses a speargun to kill the villain, Emilio Largo, avenging her brother's death.
