Early life

Stävin was born in Örebro County, Sweden, in 1957. A blue-eyed blonde, she won Miss World 1977 in London,[1] becoming the third Swedish woman to win the Miss World crown.

Stävin started her acting career in the early 1980s. She appeared in two music videos for Adam Ant, "Ant Rap" (1981) and "Strip" (1983).

Stävin's first film role was in the James Bond film Octopussy (1983), where she played an Octopussy girl. She then appeared in the next Bond film, A View to a Kill (1985),[1] in a larger role as agent Kimberley Jones. Bond actor Roger Moore later wrote in his autobiography that "floating away on board a submarine with Mary Stavin must be many men's dream."[2]

Stävin dated footballer Don Shanks from 1978 to 1982. She then dated footballer George Best from 1982 to 1985, and the couple released the exercise album Shape Up and Dance.[3][4]

Film star

Stävin continued her acting career after the Bond films. She had supporting roles in the horror films House (1986) and Open House (1987). She then had supporting roles in the films The Opponent (1988), Alien Terminator (1988), and Howling V: The Rebirth (1989).

Stävin played the female lead in the action films Strike Commando 2 (1988) and Born to Fight (1989). Both were directed by Bruno Mattei and starred Brent Huff. Stävin also played Heba in the television series Twin Peaks (1990).

During the late 1980s, Stävin was married to and divorced from actor Steve Jamieson, and she then had a five-year relationship with actor William Holdsworth.[3]

Later life

Stävin has acted sporadically since the mid-1990s. She married businessman Nicholas Wilcockson in 1995, and the couple has one daughter who was born in 1996. Stävin lives in California.[3]
