James Bond fans will remember her role as Fiona in the 1965 classic Thunderball.

Stepping out in Los Angeles last Thursday, Luciana was accompanied by her husband Michael Jay Solomon, 87.

Her husband also worked within the realms of showbiz and headed Warner Bros International Television in the 1980s and 1990s.

The smitten couple, who got wed in 1979, looked content and happy as they stepped out side by side.

Luciana looked stunning as she wore a white top with some matching trousers.

She completed the look with a floaty blue shirt that she wore open.

Luciana, who had flame-coloured hair when starring in the Bond flick, still has fiery locks today, and on her recent outing she wore them swept back and tied at the back of her head.

She completed the look with some sunglasses and a pair of white shoes.

Meanwhile, Luciana’s husband Michael wore an all-black ensemble, which contrasted against her pristine white look.

Luciana and Michael tied the knot in the late 70s and then moved to New York City together.

The marriage caused her to end her film career.

In 1980, she became sales representative of Canale 5 and it:Reteitalia in the United States.

As well as living in New York, the couple has resided at an exclusive clifftop estate on the Pacific Ocean in Jalisco, Mexico, known as “Casa Dos Estrellas”.

But the couple sold their lavish Mexican estate in 2005.

They are now thought to split their time between New York and Rome.
