Tania commenced her modeling career in 1957 at the tender age of 16. Eventually, she became one of the most recognizable models of the late 1950s and early 1960s through hard work and astounding good looks.

Although her only noteworthy acting credit was 1964's Goldfinger, Tania earned a special place in James Bond fans. In addition, the fans took Twitter by storm posting condolences to the actress.

In the movie, Bond Girl Tilly is on course to avenge her sister's death but ultimately becomes one of Oddjob's unwitting victims. However, Tania made the conscious decision to return the 'lucrative' and 'comfortable' world of modeling, after starring in the third Bond film.

She once maintained,

"Filming had been an interesting experience but I was always more comfortable in a small studio with just the photographer and his assistant."

The news of the bond girl's death breaks its way through to the public just a day after the death of prolific James Bond actor Shane Rimmer at the age of 89. Moreover, he starred in You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever and The Spy Who Loved Me, making him one of the most featured actors in the franchise.

James Bond family and fans are majorly taken aback by the demise of Mallet. May her soul rest in peace.
