Nice boots if your a cobler!

Apart from the first post/picture about the late Julie Ege, is there any more info....
I know she was in 'Every Home Should Have One' with Marty Feldman, of whom I have a very sordid tale that is not for this site. Apparently, the film was a very funny, irreverant film that I have not seen....

Come on share you sordid tale with us, we like sordid tales.

The cautionary title of the 1973 movie No Sex Please, We're British was not reflected in the wave of low-budget, lowbrow British sex comedies that swept over the local screens in the 1970s. They were crude (in both style and content), sexist and unfunny, but were extremely popular and kept the moribund British film industry ticking over. Part of the attraction of these movies was the promise of tits and bums displayed by voluptuous, preferably foreign, females. Norwegian-born Julie Ege, who has died of cancer aged 64, fitted the bill perfectly.

Born Julie Dzuli in Sandnes, a small town in the south-west of Norway, she started modelling at the age of 15, and three years later was crowned Miss Norway. In 1967, after completing a degree in English and history at the University of Oslo, Julie moved to England as an au pair to improve her language skills. Two months after her arrival, she was chosen as a model in the May edition of Penthouse magazine, which led to a part in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). In it, she is among 10 girls of different nationalities in the Hugh Hefner-type alpine retreat of arch villain Blofeld (Telly Savalas without earlobes), who excite the interest of James Bond (George Lazenby).

Ege's first leading role came as Inge Giltenburg, a lusty Swedish au pair employed by bug-eyed Marty Feldman in Every Home Should Have One (1970). Despite the brief glimpses of Ege's flesh, the film remained as sexy as the frozen porridge that Feldman sells. This was followed by Up Pompeii (1971), the film version of Frankie Howerd's TV series, in which the Junoesque Ege, as Voluptua, seemed blissfully unaware of the titillation and double entendres around her. Among the cast was Michael Horden as Ludicrus Sextus, a good description of many of the British sex comedies of the period.

Ege's curvaceous charms were the selling points of Creatures the World Forgot (1971), in which, as a sexy cavewoman, she slips out of a wardrobe of revealing leather bikinis and skimpy furs. Now well-established as a 70s Scandinavian sex symbol, she played Donald Sinden's frustrated wife in the spy spoof Rentadick (1972), in which a nerve gas paralyses victims from the waist down; a gangster's wife involved with married furrier Leslie Phillips in Not Now Darling (1973) and Percy's Progress (1975), sequel to Percy, which was about the world's first penis transplant. All of these films found gratuitous reasons for getting her to strip down to her underwear.

Ege's final film in England was The Amorous Milkman (1975), in which bored housewives are served more than their daily pintas. The poster for the film showed a self-satisfied cat licking its lips above the legend, "If your pussy could only talk."

Apart from the soft-porn farces, Ege played victims of mad scientist Donald Pleasence in Mutations (1972) and of a masked vampire in The Legend of Seven Golden Vampires (1974) - a Hammer/Shaw Brothers co-production - leading to her having a stake driven through her heart.

During her eight years in England, she lived for most of the time with Tony Bramwell, former assistant to the Beatles and later a successful record and film music promoter. She had been married and divorced twice by 1970, first to a Norwegian army officer and then to an English dentist. After appearing in a couple of films on her return to Norway, she trained as a care worker and, in 1998, completed a three-year course to become a registered nurse, fulfilling a childhood dream. She continued to work in a hospital in Oslo, even after she was diagnosed with both breast and lung cancer.

Ege, who is survived by two daughters, never had any illusions about her acting abilities and was often amused by fans tracking her down. "To be honest, I was never really that proud of my performance in films, but I gave it my best and enjoyed the work very much," she said.
