TODAY WE REMEMBER JULIE EGE, a model and actress, she starred in the James
Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1968) also in the Creatures
The World Forgot (1971) for Hammer….she co-starred with Peter Cushing in
Hammer's 'Legend Of The Seven Golden Vampires' (1974). Julie was much MORE than eye candy and thankfully, after her acting career moved on to a whole new life. Here is a very good feature on Julie, that gives the bigger picture and shows how she excelled right until her sad end . .
'For Ege, graduating as a nurse fulfilled a childhood dream, but like others on
this website, it also saved her life. While studying for her final
exams, Ege discovered the early signs of breast cancer and believed that
it was her new found knowledge that helped her detect the disease.
Undeterred by the extensive medical treatment, including a mastectomy,
she went on to work as a nurse for 22 years, facing the disease head on,
including subsequent diagnoses of ovarian and lung cancer. She wrote
her autobiography Naked, and continued to attend premieres and
events in Oslo while at the Buskerud Hospital in Drammen. “She was a
nurse and loved the job,” said her daughter Joanna to The Express
newspaper. “You would never have known she had this rich, glamorous past
if you’d met her. You would have just been struck by her energy, her
smile and her determination to help people." JUST CLICK HERE!
