Nikki van der Zyl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikki van der Zyl (also known as Monica van der Zyl) is a voice-actress most famous for providing the voice of Ursula Andress in the movie Dr. No (Diana Coupland, however, provided the singing voice of Ursula Andress). She also revoiced all the other female voices in that same movie, except that of Miss Moneypenny (played by Lois Maxwell) and that of a Chinese girl. Van der Zyl also worked as a dialogue coach who assisted Gert Fröbe, whose English was limited, for the Bond movie Goldfinger. Currently, she works as an artist, poet, and public speaker.
