Why he might be annoying:

    Although her son Damien was born shortly after her marriage to Alex Cord, she later admitted the father was actually Terence Stamp.

    Her father was an RAF pilot who was killed in action during World War II.

    She appeared in a James Bond-themed episode of The Fall Guy with fellow Bond girls Britt Ekland and Lana Wood.
