Margaret Lee, Wolverhampton-born actress who became a huge star in Italian Eurospy movies – obituary

[admin]

Margaret Lee, who has died aged 80, was an actress from the West Midlands who won fame overseas as a knowing, Marilyn Monroe-like blonde in a series of European genre movies cranked out in the late 1960s and early 1970s; in the UK, however, she remained largely uncelebrated – although her story could have played out very differently had a pivotal early-career audition gone in her favour.
