She also went on to win the Miss World 1969 pageant.[1] During her tenure, she starred in the Bob Hope USO tour in South Vietnam.
Her acting career contains a recurring James Bond credit: she played General Gogol's assistant Rublevitch in the films The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, and Octopussy. She also has a minor role in ‘’Carry On Dick’’, one of the later in the Carry On film series.

She has lived in an Elizabethan Grade II listed house in Pinner since 1984 and moved there when she was expecting her first and only child, Ronald's son Alexander Fouracre, who lives in Willesden Green and works as a camera man. She currently lives with her second husband, publisher Brian Cowan.
