London Bond girl Ursula Andress, who created history with her appearance in a white bikini in the first ever Bond Film 'Dr No,' is averse to getting clicked because she fears she is not beautiful compared to the glory of her youth days.

The 72-year-old Swiss-born actress, who starred opposite Sean Connery in the film, is adamant she will never pose for a camera in broad daylight again, because she doesn't want to spoil people's memories of her, the ‘Contactmusic’ reported.

The former beauty now suffers from brittle bone disease. She says, "Forty-five years ago looking like that was easy, now it is hard. These days I prefer a little more darkness and to keep the old photos going."

The original Bond girl had beat out competition from Halle Berry and Kim Basinger to be named the best Bond girl ever, in an online poll last year.
