This week we welcome Britt Ekland to the Reader Interview chair, to celebrate the 50th-anniversary re-release of British folk horror classic The Wicker Man. So … what to know, and what to ask? There’s her other famous films: as showgirl Rachel Schpitendavel in The Night They Raided Minsky’s in 1968, Anna to Michael Caine’s Get Carter in 1971, alongside Roger Moore’s 007 as Mary Goodnight in 1974’s The Man with the Golden Gun, and as real-life socialite/prostitute Mariella Novotny in 1989’s Profumo affair drama Scandal.
As well as all that, Ekland has done panto (Cinderella in Swindon in 2007); starred on Swedish reality TV show Stjärnorna på Slotted (aka Stars at the Castle – admit it, you’re a fan) and I’m a Celebrity in 2010 (booted out fourth, since you ask). More recently she turned up on season 4 of the BBC’s The Real Marigold Hotel in 2020.
