Claudine Auger - Biography
An alumnus of the Paris Drama Conservatory, well-proportioned brunette actress Claudine Auger made her screen debut in 1960. Five years later, she played Domino, mistress of master villain Largo (Adolpho Celi), in the 007 epic Thunderball. The most immediate by-product of Claudine's "overnight" stardom was a Playboy spread and a guest shot on an American TV special starring Danny Thomas and Bob Hope. After worthwhile roles in such trendy European films as Triple Cross (1966) and The Killing Game (1967), Claudine Auger's starring career settled into such time-killers as Black Belly of the Tarantula (1972).
When she was on holiday in Nassau, writer-producer Kevin McClory saw her and recommended that she audition for his film Thunderball (1965). The role of Domino was originally to be an Italian woman, Dominetta Petacchi. Auger impressed the producers so much that they rewrote the part to that of a French woman, to better suit Auger. Although she took lessons to perfect her English, her voice was eventually dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl. Auger would claim that she related to her character Domino, as she and Domino were both involved with older men. The most immediate byproduct of Claudine's stardom was a semi-nude Playboy spread.
In 1959, she married writer-director Pierre Gaspard-Huit. They later divorced. She married British businessman Peter Brent in the 1980s. The couple had one child, Jessica Claudine Brent (b. 1991). Peter Brent died in August 2008.
