A British actress who did mostly films, but she did have a few tv roles including a starring role in a 1970s sci-fi series.

She instantly reminded me of Emma Peel, played by Diana Rigg. Is she, by chance?

No, not Diana Rigg. Though both Rigg and our mystery lady had roles in the same long running series of films.

Well, she looks like a Bond girl, and I thought Diana Rigg was also a Bond girl ... so I looked for Bond girls.
Turns out, Diana Rigg had the leading female role and Catherine Schell played the role of decoy in On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969.

Catherine Schell is correct!

This man served in the Australian Army then later worked as an auto mechanic, car salesman, and even a male model before becoming an actor. With only TV commercials to his credit, he managed to get the starring role in a major Brit production.

He was the second man to play the lead character in that particular series of Brit films. He was offered a contract to play 6 more of the films in that series, but he declined. There have been several actors play the leading man over the years since.

Could this be an older George Lazenby?

Yes - this is George at 77. Fairly current photo, I think.

That's funny! When I was previously looking for Bond girls, I didn't run across that photo of Diana Rigg ... When you posted it, Mel, I thought "oh,yeh, she's probably from the same time period as Diana Rigg and Catherine Schell and all those people from the 1960s 007 days", but it never occurred to me to look at more photos of Diana Rigg.
