Biography

Wayborn was born Britt-Inger Johansson in Nybro, Småland, Sweden. She was Miss Sweden 1970, and was a semi-finalist in the Miss Universe 1970 pageant. She was also selected as Miss Scandinavia 1971.
Wayborn portrayed screen legend Greta Garbo in the television movie The Silent Lovers, an episode of the miniseries Moviola, which brought her to the attention of the producers of the James Bond films.
She was then cast in probably her best known role as Magda in Octopussy which features a memorable scene in which Magda beats up several of villain Kamal Khan's guards, showing a surprising agility and acumen for martial arts.
