1940s Hollywood actress Linda Christian, nicknamed "atomic bomb" by Life magazine for her stunning looks and famous for her marriage to actor Tyrone Power, has died in Palm Springs aged 87. Christian's daughter Romina Power told journalists in Rome on Saturday of her mother's death. Born in 1923 in Mexico, Christian -- whose real name was Blanca Rosa Henrietta Stella Welter Vorhauer -- was known for playing Mara in the last Tarzan film starring Johnny Weissmuller in 1948. She was also the first James Bond girl in the 1954 television adaptation of Casino Royale. Thousands of people flocked to Rome to celebrate her wedding to Tyrone Power in 1949 in the Santa Francesca Romana church, a stone's throw from the Colosseum. The newlyweds were then received by the pope. After Power's death, Linda Christian married the English actor Edmund Purdom.
