Born 1942 in Rome, Daniela Bianchi is an Italian actress best known for her iconic role as Tatiana Romanova, the beautiful Soviet corporal and love interest of James Bond, in the 1963 film From Russia with Love.
Before her rise to international fame, Bianchi was a professional ballet dancer and a successful fashion model, finishing as the first runner-up in the Miss Universe 1960 pageant. Her portrayal of Romanova is often cited as one of the most memorable “Bond Girl” performances, characterized by a perfect blend of elegance, vulnerability, and classic cinematic charm.
Despite the massive success of the Bond franchise, Bianchi chose to retire from the film industry in 1970 after marrying a prominent Italian shipping tycoon, leaving behind a brief but luminous legacy as one of the definitive beauties of 1960s European cinema.
