Biography

Sandra Colleen Waites, known professionally as Cassandra Harris, was an Australian actress.

Born in Sydney, Harris was a student at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. She enrolled in 1961, aged 12, under the name Sandra Gleeson. She went on to perform in the Sydney stage production of Boeing Boeing (1964–1965).

Harris appeared in The Greek Tycoon (1978), Rough Cut (1980), and the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981) as the Countess Lisl von Schlaf, the ill-fated mistress of Milos Columbo (played by Israeli actor Topol). While filming this movie, her third husband, Pierce Brosnan, met producer Albert R. Broccoli. Her dream was for Brosnan to become Bond and encouraged him to pursue the role. He was supposed to take over from Roger Moore after impressing Broccoli in his role in the TV series Remington Steele. He agreed to take the role but producers from the TV show refused to release him from his contract, he eventually was cast in the role in the early 90's and would proceed to play James Bond in four films. She guest-starred in several episodes of the television series Remington Steele with Brosnan; they married on 27 December 1980.

Personal life and death

Harris had three children: Charlotte Harris (1971–2013) and Christopher Harris (b. 1972) by Dermot Harris, brother of actor Richard Harris, and son Sean Brosnan (b. 1983), by Pierce Brosnan, who adopted Charlotte and Christopher after their father died in 1986.

In 1987, Harris was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the same disease that had claimed her own mother's life. She had the illness for four years until her death on 28 December 1991, at the age of 43.[3][2] Her daughter Charlotte also died from ovarian cancer on 28 June 2013, aged 41.
