For Your Ears Only The Voice of the Stars by Nikki Van Der Zyl 
Many thanks for the book toThe James Bond Museum Nybro Sweden

 

Almost everyone remembers the iconic scene in the first Bond film, Dr. No, where actress Ursula Andress emerges from the sea as Honey Ryder singing 'Underneath the Mango Tree'. But very few people realise that the character's sexy voice - heard throughout the film - was actually that of Nikki van der Zyl. Apart from Lois Maxwell who played Miss Moneypenny, Nikki was involved in more Bond films than any other actress. For Your Ears Only is the remarkable story of a multi-talented actress who never received the acclaim she deserved. As a child, Nikki fled Nazi Germany to start a new life in England. This was the start of many twists and turns in Nikki's personal life, including several traumatic years in the high court, fighting to stop her children being taken from her, assisting the High Court Judge as a barrister in the famous Baader-Meinhof terrorist case, and having regular access to 10 Downing Street as a lobby correspondent. In this fascinating autobiography, Nikki spills the beans on one of the best kept secrets in the film industry and tells how she provided the female voices in numerous films from Bond to One Million Years BC.
