2. Thats Not What Ursula Andress Sounds Like. Or Daniela Bianchi. Or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsoSehimrsE Ursula Andress was inspired casting as knife-wielding Honey Ryder in Dr No, but the actresss strong Swiss accent was seen as an issue by the producers, and so all of her dialogue was re-recorded by Monica van der Zyl, with Diana Coupland providing her singing voice. Amazingly, the same problem arose in the following film, From Russia With Love, in which Daniela Bianchi is revoiced by Barbara Jefford. And in the third film Goldfinger, wherein the eponymous villain played by Gert Frobe had all his dialogue redone by Michael Collins. In fact, in every one of the first six Bond films, at least one major character is revoiced. In On Her Majestys Secret Service, George Lazenbys voice is overdubbed by George Baker whenever Bond is impersonating Hilary Bray.
