It is one of those nearly or if only stories but Fiona Fullerton's acting career never really achieved the heights that the early years promised. However, away from acting she has reached the heights in business which the other ex-Bond girls can only dream of.

A former juvenile actress, she first appeared onscreen at age 14 in 1969's Run Wild, Run Free. After a turn as Anastasia in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), she starred as Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1972. However, she failed to make it big, in the next twenty years she took only small roles in films and on TV, most notably appearing in Roger Moore's last outing as James Bond, A View To A Kill, in 1985 and a follow up role as Lady Caroline in 1990's Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming, alongside Sean Connery's son Jason.

She has also acted on stage, starring as Guenevere in a 1982 production of Camelot. Fullerton has had numerous TV appearances, including the British programmes The Charmer, Angels and the P D James thriller A Taste of Death.

Fullerton was married to the Casualty actor Simon MacCorkindale in the 1970s. They divorced in 1981 and she is now married again with a daughter and a stepson.

It is as a businesswoman that she has gone onto bigger and better things. She invests in the property market, buying and refurbishing properties which she lets and manages herself. She is also increasingly in demand as a writer, contributing regularly to magazines and writing a weekly column for the property pages of the Daily Telegraph. Her books on letting property and buying, selling and moving house are really the best of their genre (more details).

She has also presented her own Style Guide on satellite television.
