Shagadelic, Baby! But Who Played the Foxy Lady in Austin Powers?
Ah, Austin Powers. International man of mystery, connoisseur of corduroy, and perpetual thorn in the side of Dr. Evil. But cast your mind back to those swinging sixties, groovy threads, and disco balls of yore. Who was the fine lady who stole Austin's heart (and maybe a bit of mojo) in the first film?
It's Vanessa Kensington, baby! Played by the ever-stunning Elizabeth Hurley, Vanessa was the epitome of Austin's dream girl. A spy with a killer instinct (literally, she foils Dr. Evil's plans) and a wardrobe that could launch a thousand "Union Jack bikini" Halloween costumes.
Now, hold on a sec, groovy baby. You might be thinking, "Wait a minute, wasn't there another foxy lady in the later films?" Indeed there was! Austin Powers wouldn't be Austin Powers without encountering a whole bevy of beautiful secret agents.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
- Foxxy Cleopatra (played by the one and only Beyonc�) brought girl power to the disco era in "Austin Powers in Goldmember".
- Felicity Shagwell (played by Heather Graham) joined Austin on his time-traveling adventures.
But Vanessa Kensington holds a special place in our hearts (and Austin's) as the original Bond Girl homage (well, spy girl, really) who captured the essence of the swinging sixties.
Fun Fact: Elizabeth Hurley wasn't the first choice for Vanessa Kensington. Originally, Gwyneth Paltrow was attached to the role, but scheduling conflicts led to Hurley stepping in and absolutely rocking it.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
