Actual Year of Birth[edit]

Many sources list 1949 (and some 1948) as her year of birth. However, exact evidence and interviews indicate it's 1950. It's stated that she was 16 (not 17) when she had a bit in 1967's 'Casino Royale'. She is born in January (year's first month) and that film was made in 1966.

We would need to cite some actual reliable sources for a change of date to 1950; we can't just go with 'such and such says...' without presenting anything to back it up. I've already added two published sources for 1949; there's also this Guardian article from 2019 that gives her age as 70, and it's also worth pointing out that official records show 1949 to be correct.

She keeps stating in interviews as if 1950 is the actual date. Remember she was born in January, so the age a year can't to changing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.88.8 (talk) 02:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bond query[edit]

Article claims of her appearance in The Spy Who Loved Me: In her role as Naomi, she holds the distinction of being the first woman ever killed by James Bond.

But what about Fiona (Luciana Paluzzi) in Thunderball...? In any event, a sexy decoy in Egypt is killed in a similar manner to Fiona earlier in The Spy Who Loved Me. Both precede Naomi's demise (which, for me, stops the film dead in its tracks!) even if Bond himself didn't pull the trigger himself in the earlier deaths. Asa01 08:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

June 2019[edit]

A nice piece about Caroline Munro in the press today if anyone wants to use it: Jeffries, Stuart (6 June 2019). "70s Bond girl Caroline Munro: 'I loved Roger Moore. His knitwear was really classy'". The Guardian. Guardian News & Media Limited. Retrieved 6 June 2019.

Lamb's Navy Rum adverts[edit]

The article mentions her Lamb's Navy Rum ads in passing, but I think the significance is underplayed. They brought her to mass attention with the British public, and made her an object of serious lust for young men in the 70s. Ef80 (talk) 21:08, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
