Maud Adams (born in Luleå, Sweden February 12, 1945, as Maud Solveig Christina Wikström), is an actress and supermodel, most known for her roles in two James Bond movies.
In 1963, she was discovered in a shop by a photographer who asked to take her picture, a picture he submitted to a model contest arranged by the magazine Allers. Adams won this contest and from there her modelling career took off. She moved to Paris and later to New York City to work for Eileen Ford, at this time she was one of the highest paid and most exposed models in the world. Her acting career started when she was asked to star in the 1970 movie The Boys In The Band, in which she played a model.
Adams is most famous for playing in two James Bond movies, as a Bond girl in The Man with the Golden Gun, and as the title character in Octopussy. She also had a cameo appearance in A View to a Kill. Something Adams enjoyed about working with Bond movies was that she had a Swedish co-star on both films. Kristina Wayborn as Magda in Octopussy and Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight in The Man With The Golden Gun.
Adams has not starred in any movies since 1996. She hosted the Swedish TV show Kafé Luleå in 1994 and played a guest role in the Swedish soap opera Vita lögner in 1998. In the 1970s, she guest starred in such American TV series as Hawaii Five-O and Kojak.
