Maryam Dabo was born December 27th, 1960 in London, England. She is best known as a Bond girl, a fact which she has practically set in stone by co-writing the book Bond Girls are Forever (2002) which was later turned into a documentary, and then updated a few times to coincide with the release of new Bond movies. Dabo was memorable as a Bond Girl for a different reason than usual. The actress had trained at Londons Drama Centre before appearing in The Living Daylights (1987)— Timothy Daltons first outing as the agent with the license to kill, 007. This post-feminist movie attempted to make the women slightly more dimensional than the almost too laughable to be offensive named Pussy Galore of the 1960s, and the conga line of sexy assassins with whom Bond normally had obligatory one night stands. Dabo was a co-star more than a Bond girl, and she played a talented cellist who was both beautiful but sensitive and with whom Bond had a movie long association (a Golden Anniversary in Bond World). Dabo followed the Living Daylights with a series of movies, all much less notable like Tomcat: Dangerous Desires of (1993) or her starring role in sci-fi clunker, Timeclock (1996). In real life the actress is married to Hugh Hudson, the Oscar nominated director of Chariots of Fire.
