He was also in Happy Gilmore. Was great in the two Bond films, and was also the first bad guy actor to feature in a Bond film twice. Bloefeld was played by several actors, not the same one.

I thought she won it more than once? Also girlfriend of James Coburn?

Talented - wrote songs for others as well as music scores and was supposedly a very funny lady.  She always came across as sharp and fun.
