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 (1980), 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 (1983) which features a scene in which Magda defeats several of villain Kamal Khan's guards. During filming of this scene, an accident occurred and Wayborn suffered several broken toes.
She subsequently appeared in episodes of American television series including The Love Boat, Airwolf, MacGyver, Dallas, General Hospital, Designing Women, Baywatch and That '70s Show, which reunited her with her Octopussy co-star Maud Adams, and other Bond girls Barbara Carrera and Tanya Roberts.
