丹妮拉·碧安琪 is an Italian actress, best known for her role of Bond girl Tatiana Romanova in 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963). She Finished 1st Runner Up in Miss Universe 1960 Competition, enough to get the attentions of Bond movie producers who chose her over 200 female prospects for the role of Tatiana Romanova.
Bianchi made a number of French and Italian movies after 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963), the last being The Last Chance (1968). One of her later films was 上吧，康奈利！ (1967), which was a James Bond spoof filmed in English (though Bianchi was again dubbed) and starring 肖恩·康纳利's brother, Neil Connery.
In 2012, Bianchi appeared in a small role in the documentary film We're Nothing Like James Bond.
Winner of Miss Rome 1960, she later was a first runner-up in that year's Miss Universe contest.
Her voice was dubbed in 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963); she spoke almost no English and spoke her lines phonetically. Her heavy Italian accent made much of her dialogue difficult to understand, so an English-speaking Italian actress whose accent wasn't so pronounced was hired to re-record her lines.
Appeared opposite 肖恩·康纳利 in the James Bond classic 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963) , and opposite his younger brother, Neil Connery, in 上吧，康奈利！ (1967) (a.k.a., "Operation Kid Brother") four years later.
Has a son, Filippo, from her marriage to Alberto Cameli, the president of an Italian cargo shipping company.
She is the youngest to play the role of "Main Bond Girl" at the age of 21.
She beat out more than 200 girls for the leading lady role in the James Bond film 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963), including 坦妮娅·玛蕾特 (who later landed a role in another James Bond film 007之金手指 (1964)), 埃尔加·安德森, 皮娅·林斯特隆(英格丽·褒曼's daughter), 玛格达·科诺普卡, and 西娃·科丝西娜.
James Bond screenwriter 理查德·麦鲍姆 said that she was his favorite Bond girl, because she made the most implausible plot line in 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963) plausible and that she made the bedroom scene with 肖恩·康纳利 very sexy. He also recalled that she didn't really want to be an actress, since she read Italian novels and ate chocolates on the set. However, he admired her ability to shrug and laugh off at director 特伦斯·杨's insults. Young found her walk to be awkward and her hips to be wide, so he shot her scenes from the waist up.
As a young girl, she studied ballet. But as she grew into womanhood, she became more voluptuous and couldn't continue with her dream of being a ballet dancer.
She was the first main James Bond girl to appear on the cover of "TV Guide" ( Nov. 7, 1964) with 理查德·查伯兰, the star of Dr. Kildare (1961). She played Chamberlain's love interest on a 3-part episode of the show titled "Rome Will Never Leave You". The other main Bond girls who followed her by appearing on covers of "TV Guide" are: 黛安娜·里格, 简·西摩, 玛瑞·亚达波, Carey Lowell, 丹妮丝·理查兹, and 哈莉·贝瑞.
She remains the only Italian actress to play a main James Bond girl, although she played a Russian in 007之俄罗斯之恋 (1963). Other Italian actresses, such as 卢仙娜·帕鲁兹 and 莫妮卡·贝鲁奇, played secondary roles in the later James Bond films.
She came from a prominent Italian family. Her father was a retired army colonel, and her grandmother was a marchesa (an Italian noblewoman ranking above a countess and below a princess).
In 1964, she was living in an apartment in Rome and also had a beach house in Sirolo. She owned a sports car and enjoyed swimming and horseback riding. Her friends in Italy were not show business people, but mostly architects, engineers, and executives. She did have a great ambition to be a star in America, but her limited English skills, along with her fear of driving in Los Angeles hurt her chances.
