BOND GIRL SUSIE: I feel very lucky in life

STAR CHEATS DEATH TWICE

- JIM MOORE

AS a Bond girl, she famously enjoyed a steamy log cabin clinch with Sir Roger Moore’s 007 in The Spy Who Loved Me.

But since appearing in the 1977 flick in her twenties as a sexy Soviet agent, brave actress and singer Susie Vanner has survived two near fatal health dramas, themselves worthy of a movie.

Back in 1994 the Romford-born star was at her London flat with her husband Warren Todd and their three-year-old son Ryan, when she suddenly started suffering from a severe headache and collapsed.

A scan revealed she’d had a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage, a type of lifethreatening stroke caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain, in her case caused by a burst vessel from a tangle of veins.
