JILL ST.JOHN

Jill St. John was the first American that played the role of a Bond girl in the 1971 movie Diamonds are Forever. This had been John’s insurance to a successful acting career in the entertainment world, cementing her place in film history. John has been acting since the age of 6 when she was only acting on the radio. Then at the age of 9, she appeared in the movie, which was also her first appearance on the screen. After that, her journey seemed to be opened, and there were many TV and movie roles that needed her to play.

John had worked with some of the greatest in Hollywood, like Sean Connery, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Robert Wagner, and Adam West. John also appeared on Seinfeld in the 1990s, but she eventually got tired of everything that came with her fame. So, she started accepting fewer acting jobs after her Bond film. From here, she began to focus on her cooking abilities instead.
