Black Jones
Alexandra Bastedo
This gorgeous blonde is always mistaken for being European born like Spanish or Italian was born in England in 1946. However her parentage roots contained both Italian, Spanish, French and German descent, so quite the melting pot that produced one hell of a beautiful woman that was easily more than a match for other sexpot actresses around at the same time. Alexandra would go on to make her name in the popular cult British classic tv show "The Champions" (1969-1969) which surprisingly only ran for one season consisting of 30 hour long episodes. For someone that looked as incredible as she did though, her filmography isn't littered with great films or tv which again is very surprising. Highlights do include the James Bond spoof film "Casino Royale" (1967), "The Blood Splattered Bride" (1972) and various classic tv shows of the era. On the personal side she had her fair share of high profile dates and affairs at the height of her 1960s career including David Frost and Omar Sharif. One such legendary actor that considering himself unlucky to have his famed advances rebuffed was none other than Steve McQueen only on the fact he was famously married at the time and Alexandra didn't intend to be "that other woman" that so many other loves of McQueen settled for during his never-ending quest to bed most sexy women he crossed paths with. Having no regrets and in the year Steve McQueen would die from the cancerous condition mesothelioma, Alexandra found love and married British film director Patrick Garland and remained married until his death in 2013. Within a year later Alexandra would die from her own battle of cancer succumbing to breast cancer in 2014 aged 67. *above photo of beautiful Alexandra on the set of her tv series "Codename" (1970) in 1970.
