Daughter of Britt Ekland (Mary Goodnight in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden) and Peter Sellers (James Bond in the 1967 film Casino Royale).
Victoria is one of the nicest people I've been fortunate to become friends with over the years. A genuinely wonderful human being. Not only gorgeous but also great fun to hang out with. She's got a great sense of humour.
Born 1965 in London as the only child from the marriage between
Britt Ekland and Peter Sellers (Evelyn Tremble / James Bond 007 in
Casino Royale 1967). She's the younger half-sister of Michael Sellers and Sarah Sellers.
In 1974, she accompanied her mother to Thailand and Hong Kong for the filming of
The Man with the Golden Gun. Although the scene was cut, she made a cameo during one of the scenes in the hotell lobby.
The breakup between her famed parents forced her to live at different places when she grew up. In the mid 1970's she lived with her grandmother in Stockholm. (Victoria is more or less fluent in Swedish.)
After graduating from Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences in Santa Monica 1981, Sellers has worked as model, actress and stand-up comedian.
In 1981, Michael, Sarah & Victoria Sellers book
P.S I Love You: An Intimate Portrait of Peter Sellers was published by Collins in the UK and by E. P. Dutton in America the following year.
Since 1997, Victoria Sellers designs fine jewelry, check out the

In recent years, Victoria helps her brother Nic Adler who runs The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. She's also appeared in two Swedish reality shows,
Svenska Hollywoodfruar and
