She was a nameless SHADO op, wasn't she? Seems we had a hunt for her a
while back. She played the woman who was to marry Sean Connery in the
film, "The Man Who Would Be King" too - kind of got dragged into that
role, as they needed someone and Michael Caine kind of turned to his
wife with a "Oh, honey ....." - LOL!

She is the moonbase operative undressing behind the mirror and is also
the
waitress in the restaurant in "The Dalotek Affair," I think. Gerry
Anderson
says on his commentary that he's always been afraid of meeting Michael
Caine
because he thinks might punch him for the changing scene.

ROFL! Ah, Michael Caine is a good sport. He says in his autobiography
that shortly after moving to a new house a new neighbor showed up and
was pleased to find a good English gentleman had moved in, as the
neighborhood was being overrun by "darkies." Shakira walked by and the
guy assumed she was a servant and Caine was quite pleased to introduce
the neighbor to his WIFE. The guy blanched and ran away - LOL! (They met
because Caine saw her in a TV commercial and fell in love with her)
