Gloria Hendry

Gloria Hendry

Gloria Hendry (born March 3 1949 in Winter Haven, Florida) is an African-American actress. She is sometimes credited as "Gloria Henry."

Career

Gloria was raised in Newark, New Jersey. She originally trained for a career as a legal secretary, but changed careers after becoming a Playboy Bunny.

She began her acting career in the 1968 Sidney Poitier film For Love of Ivy.

She is perhaps best known for portraying the Bond girl, Rosie Carver in the James Bond film "Live and Let Die". In that film, she became the first African American woman romantically involved with 007. She is not, however, the first African-American Bond girl; that title went to Trina Parks. When the film was first released in South Africa, her love scenes with Roger Moore were cut out because it was prohibited by the Apartheid government.

She later starred in several 1970's Blaxploitation films, including the 1973 film "Black Caesar" and its sequel, the 1974 film "Hell Up in Harlem". She also portrayed the martial arts expert, Sydney, in "Black Belt Jones."

Today, Gloria is working as a legal secretary at a downtown Los Angeles law firm.
