She’s Aliza Gur! 

The Israeli actress, now 85, is best known for playing Vida in the James Bond film, From Russia with Love, in 1963. 

She played a young woman in a Gypsy tribe that Sean Connery’s James Bond encounters at one point.

She was 23 years old at the time she played the brunette bombshell wearing green fighting another woman over the same man.

In one iconic scene, the brunette bombshell played one of two jealous Gypsy girls, both of whom are in love with the chief’s son.

Vida competes with Zora — Martine Beswick plays the woman wearing red — to determine who will marry the chief’s son. 

Sixty-two years later, she was spotted on a rare and casual outing in Los Angeles.  

While out running errands, she infused a touch of glamour into her outfit, sporting a rhinestone-adorned baseball cap along with oversized, rose-tinted sunglasses.
