Ursula Andress dealt with some shady characters on-screen and, apparently, one in real life as well. The former Bond girl is reeling after suffering a significant financial setback. The Swiss actress portrayed Honey Ryder in the first Bond movie, Dr. No starting Sean Connery.
She claims to have lost an estimated $21.3 million due to her manager’s deceptive practices.
Eric Freymond’s alleged crimes have left Ursula Andress “devastated”
Ursula’s manager was allegedly a crook. The 90-year-old called out Eric Freymond in a recent interview, telling the German publication Blick that Eric and his team “lied to me ruthlessly and exploited my goodwill and trust.” She added that his alleged crimes have left her feeling “devastated.”
Ursula believes that Eric conned her, and nowadays she’s paying a heavy price. She says that she deals with crippling anxiety and can’t sleep at night because of his supposed actions. She says that Eric transferred her fortune from Lombard Odier bank to an account held by the Vaud Notaries’ Association at Saanenbank. She’s accusing him of purchasing artwork worth millions without her knowledge or consent.
According to Blick, Eric had allegedly been embezzling from Nicolas Puech. He is the heir to the luxury goods company Hermès. The publication says that he confessed to some of those allegations against him during a 2025 interrogation.
Ursula’s current management team says that Eric’s alleged fraud scheme deprived her of a large portion of her assets. The cantonal judicial authorities of Vaud are looking into these allegations. Two weeks after his interrogation, Eric took his own life.
In her life, Ursula has had her share of relationships with big stars, including one with actor Harry Hamlin. Last month, his current wife, Lisa Rinna, said that she has nothing but “love” for Ursula.
