Denise Perrier (born 1935) is a French model and actress. She now goes by "Denise Perrier Lanfranchi."
Perrier was the third person to be chosen as Miss World in 1953,[1][2] representing France; the same year that France also won the Miss Universe pageant by Christiane Martel.
Perrier has done little acting. Her most memorable scene is an uncredited appearance in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. In the scene, after a little persuasion from James Bond, who starts throttling her with the top of her bikini, she gives up and tells the location of the villain of the film.
After leaving her modeling career, Perrier became active in local government in her native France. She was one of the judges at the 2005 and 2010 Miss World contests.
