Dominique's actress[]

I wonder if we can be certain that it is Dominique Risbourg who plays Dominique because the end credits and the Aveleyman and Movie-Dude.co.uk databases credit a certain Carole Ashby as a "Whistling girl".

Dominique Risbourg

Dominique Risbourg

I think you're correct to draw attention to this, Vrack. There's a lot of confusion about the name and its not Risbourg. Judging from things like this autographed photo, it seems extremely likely the character is in fact portrayed by Carole Ashby. Interestingly, Dominique Risbourg is actually a illusionist, who appears to be the guy who introduces the show. Peter Lamont explains some of the background details:
"We then drove to a restaurant outside Paris to see a remarkable act where a whistling lady on stage appeared to control butterflies that hovered over the heads of the diners. Dominique Risbourg, the illusionist who owned the restaurant, agreed to recreate the act for us when we filmed Bond's meeting with the ill-fated Monsieur Aubergine (Jean Rougerie) at Pinewood."

Page's rename[]

Why has this page been renamed? Vrack (talk) 17:05, July 21, 2018 (UTC)

To disambiguate between this Dominique (a fairly common name) and other individuals such as Dominique Paradis, Dominique Risbourg, and potentially others. It just seems prudent, but if its a problem we can easily revert. AndyTGD (talk) 17:36, July 21, 2018 (UTC)
