20th Century Foxes No.4: Daliah Lavi

DL1
The Silencers

  • I was about eight years old when I first saw Daliah Lavi, in the Matt Helm movie The Silencers (1966). This Israeli dish had a face and body custom designed for CinemaScope and Panavision, dark and exotic, tall, with rounded eyes and wide mouth…even at that young age I knew she wasn’t the type of girl I’d likely find in my neighborhood. Her film career was brief (she’s smokin’ hot in the 1967 Casino Royale), and she went on to record a few albums.

    In the first photo, she looks a bit like Claudia Cardinale.

    Have only seen her in Two Weeks in Another Town, where they tamp down all that sexiness to make her the "good, innocent girl" to Cyd Charisse's maneating star. It isn't very convincing; even in a relatively modest dress and one of those classic 60s headbands Lavi is smokin'.

    IMDB says she now lives in Asheville, NC. Wonder if the locals know what they have got there?

    She's 478 miles from my front door. I tracked down her home address and phone number!

    The Silencers, Casino Royale, The Spy With a Cold Nose, The High Commissioner, Some Girls Do. If she had played a spy one more time, she probably would have been investigated by the FBI or MI5.
