'Claudine Auger' (born 'Claudine Oger' on 26 April 1942 in Paris) was a former Miss France Monde and actress during the 1960s and onwards. Her most famous role was as Bond girl Dominique "Domino" Derval in the James Bond film Thunderball. The role of Domino was originally to be an Italian woman: Dominetta Petacchi. Auger impressed the producers so much that they re-wrote the part to that of a French woman to better suit Auger. Her voice is dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl in this movie. Thunderball launched Auger into a successful European movie career, but did little for her otherwise in the United States. In 1971, she starred with two other Bond girls, Barbara Bach and Barbara Bouchet in La Tarantola dal ventre nero, a giallo mystery. Auger was also the first runner-up in the 1958 Miss World contest. She was once married to director Pierre Gaspard-Huit. She is now married to a businessman Peter Brent.
