D'Abo had previously tried unsuccessfully for an unknown role in the film Octopussy (1983)[1][2] and also audited to play the KGB agent Pola Ivanova in the earlier film, A View to a Kill (1985)[3]. She would later co-write the book Bond Girls Are Forever: The Women of James Bond as well as host the documentary of the same name. Apart from her James Bond-related work, the actress' credits include the martial arts film Shootfighter: Fight to the Death (1993), the TV movie Helen of Troy (2003) and the fantasy film Dorian Gray (2009).
