I think most of the women playing Russians in the movies were Italians.
Daniela Bianchi was her name. Not sure if she's an italian bird or not, but certainly sounds like it.
I don't know about the imposter in reply #7, but this is my kind of Russian/Italian. Might even be the hottest B[l]ond[e] girl ever.
This is true. The bond movies of the 60's were loaded with voluptuous Italian birds, but cast in roles of being russian and other euro countries. The blonde from From Russia with love was Italian with dyed blonde hair.
That was the hot look at the time.
