Susie Vanner

As a Bond girl in the 1977 movie ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, Susie Vanner became internationally recognised.

Her career in entertainment began when she was discovered by the singer/songwriter Chris Andrews in her late teens, recording six tracks for RCA Records; one of these songs, ‘Don’t Pity Me’, is now considered a classic of the Northern Soul genre and has become a highly collectable vinyl record.

Susie continues to sing to this day, and her album ‘In These Shoes’ – which was recorded at Abbey Road and British Grove Studios – was produced by Grammy award winner Kipper Eldridge, who has worked on many projects with Sting and Gary Numan.

Dancing has been an important part of Susie’s life since childhood. Her mother, despite struggling financially, was able to find the money for her to attend classes from the age of seven, and as a result Susie developed a passion for tap and ballet. Dance is still very important to Susie, as can be seen on her Instagram account and in her music videos on her YouTube channel.

For Susie, following a healthy lifestyle is vital. As well as eating carefully and avoiding alcohol and sugar, she also power walks every day and practices yoga.
