Beyond the Bond franchise, Paluzzi enjoyed a prolific international career throughout the 1960s and ’70s, starring in diverse genres ranging from Hollywood westerns like Chuka to cult sci-fi classics like The Green Slime. Born in Rome, her sophisticated beauty and talent made her a staple of European and American cinema until her retirement in the late 1970s.

Take a look at these vintage photos to rediscover the captivating charm and fierce elegance of Luciana Paluzzi during the golden age of international cinema.

The O’Hare family of Liverpool gained national attention in 1949–1950 as one of Britain’s largest families in the immediate postwar years. Henry O’Hare (born 1911) and his wife Marjorie (née Clare, born around 1910) lived in a large four-storey house on Radnor Place, off West Derby Road, in the Anfield area. Henry worked as an upholsterer (including on car interiors and even early televisions), while Marjorie managed the household.

They married in 1932 after meeting on a double date. Over the next two decades, they had 17 children in total, though one (Maureen, twin to Frank) died in infancy, leaving 16 surviving children at the time of their fame. The family included five sets of twins, a remarkable occurrence with no noted history of multiples in either parent’s background. In June 1949, 15 of the 16 children ranged in age from newborn/infant to about 17, creating an extraordinarily tight age span (roughly one birth every 13 months on average). This made headlines and earned them descriptions like “superfamily” in contemporary media.

Born from a collaboration between visionary dealer Émile Darl’mat, gifted designer Georges Paulin, and master coachbuilder Marcel Pourtout, this vehicle was a true “teardrop” masterpiece. Its signature sweeping curves, punctuated by rows of circular louvers and an elongated, flowing rear, were not merely for show, they were designed to cheat the wind, making it a formidable competitor on both the boulevards of Paris and the grueling track at Le Mans.

Underneath its stunning “Paulin-designed” silhouette lay the robust chassis of the Peugeot 402, but the Darl’mat was significantly lighter and lower, providing a spirited performance that matched its fast-paced looks. With its distinctive grille and integrated headlights, the Special Coupe embodied the spirit of French “Grand Sport” luxury, offering a level of bespoke craftsmanship that remains highly coveted by collectors today.

Only six coupes were constructed on the 1938 402-series platform, representing a tiny fraction of the 105 total Darl’mat Specials produced across all body styles. This rarity places it among the most exclusive French automobiles of the interwar period, combining innovative aerodynamic design with proven racing engineering. Below is a beautiful photo collection of the 1938 Peugeot 402 Darl’mat Special Coupe.
