Firearms Friday with Claudine Auger

Born in 1941, Claudine Auger is a French actress who came in international prominence when she played Domino, opposite Sean Connery in "Thunderball" (1966). Both before and after her turn as a Bond Girl, however, Auger appeared in top-notch thrillers and action films, mostly for the French and Spanish markets. 

Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, Auger was one of Europe's busiest actresses, logging screen and television roles while also appearing live in stage plays. In 1991, she gave birth to her daughter, and she eased back on her work schedule to focus on her family. She continued to accept at least one part every year until 1997 when she retired from the industry completely.

Claudine Auger passed away in December of 2019.
