Britt Ekland

Biography

Britt Ekland is a Swedish actress who appeared in many films during the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Stockholm, she left school as a teenager to tour with a theater company and was discovered by a talent agent in Italy. After small Swedish film parts, she landed a supporting role in the Western Advance to the Rear (1964). She earned critical acclaim as an Amish girl turned burlesque dancer in The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968). Her role opposite Michael Caine in the crime film Get Carter (1971) made her a sex symbol, and she appeared in horror films such as Asylum (1972) and The Wicker Man (1973). She played Bond girl Mary Goodnight in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and took a comedy part in Royal Flash (1975). Later credits include Scandal (1989). Her later career has centered on stage, television, pantomimes, and reality shows, and she wrote the autobiography True Britt.

Getting ready for a role
Ekland took her best-known horror part in The Wicker Man in 1973, playing a Pagan villager and seductress. To hide her Swedish-accented English, another voice was dubbed over hers in the film.
A change of course
Ekland's 1978 hosting job was for "Jukebox," a syndicated television series made by American International Television. The show, put together by Jon Roseman Productions, showcased music videos that were then just emerging.
