News about Richard Kiel

A glamorous model who appeared in the opening sequence of Moonraker has revealed a long battle with heroin use. After being welcomed into high-flying circles with celebrities, Vicki Rebecca, who was paid £1,000-per-day as a Marilyn Monroe lookalike, had the world at her feet. However, the Aberdeen-born fashionista lived a double life, one as a glamorous model and the other as a 'functional' heroin addict, with the former seeing her spend up to £250-a-day on the vice. Such was the crippling effect of her addiction to the illicit drug that she'd sneak away during breaks in filming and shooting to obtain them, including during the historic James Bond opening. According to the 67-year-old, almost half of her 20s was spent under narcotic needles, and she recalls how she was only able to get clean after leaving London and returning to her family in north east Scotland.
