Mini Biography
Simone Silva was born to Greek-French parents in Cairo as Simone de Bouillard. She was known mainly in England, where the great majority of her films were produced, as an actress of B-movies in co-star categories. This mostly forgotten actress in some ways was more bright in life than in her very short career. Her tragic death was not from natural causes, she was found dead in the rich district of Mayfar in London. She apparently suffered a stroke after a severe diet, in some way an inflicted suicide, struggling desperately for a return to the screen in perfect shape.

"I simply can't say no to doing pin-ups. They brought me my first movie chance. I plugged my bust line and oh, the fans I got."
"When you're worked up in a part you don't mind what you do. It all comes naturally. But I'd prefer nude scenes to be a bit hazy, rather the way Martine Carrol does."
