Paluzzi has reflected positively on her experience working with Connery.
“When I think about what made him such an enduring presence on screen, it was his acting talent, along with that unmistakable indomitable personality,” she told the Sunday Post. “I wasn’t attracted to him… but only because he was married! My mind doesn’t even start to consider a man if he is married, good-looking or not, I treat them like girlfriends. Now, had he not been married… then absolutely!”
While Paluzzi hasn’t appeared in a film since 1978’s Deadly Chase, she did lay the groundwork for a variety of redheaded spies after her.
