Britt Ekland

Swedish-American actress, one of Sweden's top sex symbols. She did commercials from age 15, TV and movie work as an extra and bit parts by 1963. Ekland is fluent in English, Italian, French, German and Swedish. Her international attention began when she married Peter Sellers on 19 February 1964 after a 15-day romance. Their daughter was born on 20 January 1965. Sellers was doing a lot of drugs, which, along with a bad temper, handicapped the marriage and they divorced in 1968. On 10 June 1978, in London, England she gave birth to Nic, her son with record producer Lou Adler. Britt's autobiography came out in 1980, "True Britt," in which she relates the long list of her lovers. On 21 March 1984 she married a musician 18 years younger than she, Slim Jim Phantom with the "Stray Cats" group. Their son was born on 31 March 1988, and she filed for divorce in late 1992. During a heavy metal music-awards event in London, Ekland slipped on a piece of melon, left from an earlier playful food-fight. Though in pain from a broken wrist and ankle, she was carried on stage to make an award presentation to Marilyn Manson. Her breaks mended nicely. More gorgeous at 60, she was living with her 14-year-old son in London, where she was doing stage roles and some film work. Her surname was spelled Eklund at birth but her biography bears her name spelled as "Ekland", which is her actress name. Link to Wikipedia biography
