Everyone remembers the iconic scene in the first Bond film, Dr. No, where actress Ursula Andress emerges from the sea as Honey Ryder singing “Underneath the Mango Tree”, but very few people realise that the character’s sexy voice – heard throughout the film – was actually that of Nikki van der Zyl. Apart from Lois Maxwell who played Miss Moneypenny, Nikki was involved with more Bond films than any other actress.

In her fascinating autobiography Nikki spills the beans on one of the best kept secrets in the film industry and tells how she provided the voice for many of the Bond girls, including Eunice Gayson in both Dr. No and From Russia With Love, Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger – as well as Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC.

For Your Ears Only is the remarkable story of a multi-talented actress who never received the acclaim she deserved. This book will appeal to all fans of the Bond movies and to anyone interested in finding out more about the life of the woman who gave her voice to some of the best-loved characters in film history.

Spread the word … everyone is welcome. Come along and meet Nikki, join in the Q&A session.
