Greta van Rantwyck

Greta was married to Bryan Morrison, the late pop impresario who worked with some of the biggest and most influential acts of the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties.

Starting out as the manager of the Pretty Things, the self-styled bad boys of Swinging London, he set up the Bryan Morrison Agency, and began seeking more clients.

When an article on the Pretty Things appeared in London's Sunday Times magazine, Morrison flicked through the pages and landed on a spread featuring the stunning van Rantwyck on a white horse, advertising Cossack vodka. He told friends that he would one day marry that girl, and duly did in 1972.

Morrison scored a coup in 1968 when he signed on to handle Pink Floyd. He went on to become one of Britain's most successful independent music publishers, managing the catalogues of Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees, Paul Weller of The Jam, and George Michael — both during his tenure with Wham! and as a solo artist.

In 1967, Greta was one of many uncredited pieces of eye candy decorating the set in the bombastic "Casino Royale" (1967), thereby qualifying her, most tenuously, as a "Bond Girl."

Morrison died in 2008.
