Maryam d'Abo (born
December 27,
1960 in
London,
England) is an
actress. Her first notable performance was as
Kara Milovy in the
1987 James Bond film,
The Living Daylights. She is a
first cousin of the singer
Mike d'Abo, and thus a first cousin once removed of Mike's daughter, actress
Olivia d'Abo.Born to a
Georgian mother and
Dutch father, D'abo was raised in
Paris and
Geneva. While growing up she decided to be an actress at the age of 11. D'abo studied at London’s Drama Centre while working as a model in commercials. In
1983 she made her screen debut in the low-budget British S.F. horror film
Xtro, playing a French
au pair who becomes an alien breeding chamber (or a human incubator).
Xtro was briefly vilified as a so-called
video nasty, and it is often mentioned in the same breath as many other video nasties of the early 80s, but in fact it was granted an uncut video certificate by the
BBFC, shortly after its successful cinema run. Talking to Femme Fatales magazine in
1994, d’Abo remembered it as "a terrible movie".
