Linda Christian. Photo THANKS to IMBd,
the Internet Movie Database!

As smart as she was beautiful, Linda Christian could speak French,
German, Dutch, Spanish, English, Italian and even a little Arabic
and Russian. Born in 1923 in Tampico, Mexico, to a Mexican mom
and a Dutch oil-exec dad, Blanca Rosa Welter (her birth name) made
hundreds of movie and TV appearances in Mexico, the U.S. and in
Europe. As if she NEEDED discovering, Errol Flynn gets historical
credit for "spotting" her in Acapulco.

Though she is well known as Tyrone Power's spouse of some years,
Christian also holds the distinction of being -- technically -- THE FIRST
BOND GIRL! In October 1954 she appeared in "Casino Royale," a LIVE
episode of the CBS TV-series "Climax Mystery Theater"! This was
the first screen adaptation of one of the James Bond novels by Ian
Fleming. In the TV film ‘Jimmy’ Bond was an American spy (played
by Barry Nelson) who’s mission is to break the bank on Le Chiffre
(Peter Lorre), a top Soviet operative in France. Linda Christian
played Bond’s old flame Valerie Mathis.
