Muses

This week Lynx shares the story of Swedish actress Britt Ekland.

This week we discuss the life, loves and career of Swedish beauty Britt Ekland. Beginning her acting career while still a teen, it didn't take long before the world took notice. Britt was just 21 when she married a 38 year old Peter Sellers after a 10 day whirlwind romance. During their 4 year marriage they worked on multiple films together, had one daughter and experienced some incredible highs and lows.

In the 60's and 70's Britt would star in many cult classics including The Wicker Man, Get Carter and was even a Bond girl in The Man with the Golden Arm.

Britt would also go on to date Warren Beatty, Lou Adler, Rod Stewart and marry drummer Slim Jim Phantom. While with Stewart Britt was not only an inspiration for his songs but also a motivator to build his solo career. Rod said “Sometimes... I wonder why Britt's not my manager. She's so aware of the business I’m in and I've never had a partner like that before. Britt came along and said I was wasting my talent she gave me a kick in the ass.”

Britt is still incredibly active, starring in many reality tv shows over the last decade and is active on social media. MAke sure to follow her on Instagram and Twitter.
