Later, she returned to Norway and started a career in nursing.
Julie* *was born in Høyland, Sandnes, a former Miss Norway and Miss Universe contestant who was also a Penthouse Pet.
She debuted in the low-budget Norwegian film The Sky and the Ocean. Ege also appeared in 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service as Helen, the “Scandinavian girl.”
She later starred in Hammer Film Productions’ The Creatures the World Forgot and The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. Other appearances include the Gluttony segment of The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins.
After quitting acting, I got a degree in nursing and worked in Oslo as a nurse.
Was Miss Norway in 1962 and competed in a Miss Universe pageant.
To date, she is the only Norwegian Bond girl (in the James Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)).
Given the title “The New Sex Symbol of the 1970s” by Sir James Carreras, the studio head of Hammer Films. Hammer featured her as a not-so-glamorous cavewoman in its film Creatures the World Forgot (1971). The film was a flop, but Ege went on a round-the-world publicity tour and became a leading pin-up model.
A former Penthouse Pet of the Month (May 1967).
She was honoured with a film festival in 1995 at the Rockefeller Cinema in Oslo.
Pronounced her last name “eg-gay”, not “edge”. However, during her London years, the British media always called her “Julie Edge”, perhaps because her co-star in her first major British film, comedian Marty Feldman, nicknamed her “The Naked Edge”.
[on her nude scenes] Many people think I did so much nudity in my films. I just did a short scene in Every Home Should Have One, and two bathtub scenes in Not Now Darling and Mutations.
