Mary Stavin, 68, the Swedish-born Miss World 1977 and iconic Bond Girl, was seen running errands in Los Angeles this week. The actress, known for her roles in Octopussy (1983) and A View to a Kill (1985) alongside Roger Moore, kept it casual in a patterned blouse, denim skirt, and gold sandals while shopping at Pavilions grocery store.

From Pageants to 007
Crowned Miss World at 20, Stavin transitioned to acting with roles in Adam Ant’s Ant Rap music video and two James Bond films. She famously shared her first on-screen kiss with Moore in A View to a Kill, later calling it a career highlight. Her TV credits include Twin Peaks and Days of Our Lives.

Life Beyond Bond
Stavin remains active in Hollywood, recently appearing in 2021’s Barking Mad and set to star in the upcoming comedy Nom De Plume. She lives in California with husband Nicholas Wilcockson and their daughter. Reflecting on Moore’s passing in 2017, she praised their on-screen chemistry, quoting his playful remark: “Floating away on a submarine with Mary must be many men’s dream.” [Image: Stavin returning her grocery cart]

Who’s the Next Bond?
