Maria Christina "Tina" Aumont (February 14, 1946 – October 28, 2006) was a French and American actress.[1] She was the daughter of French actor Jean-Pierre Aumont and Dominican actress Maria Montez.[2][3] She made her acting debut in the British film Modesty Blaise (1966), but later had a prominent career as a leading lady in Italian films.

Aumont was billed as Tina Marquand (her married name, after she married French actor Christian Marquand, aged 17, in 1963) in four films, including Joseph Losey's Modesty Blaise (1966).

She was photographed by Angelo Frontoni (it)[4] in 1968, when she had ankle/floor length hair, and some semi-nude pictures from this session were published in Playboy in 1969.[5][6]

She worked in Italian cinema with, among others, Alberto Sordi (Scusi, lei è favorevole o contrario?, 1966), Tinto Brass (The Howl, 1970 and Salon Kitty, 1975), Sergio Martino (Torso, 1973), Mauro Bolognini (Drama of the Rich, 1974), Francesco Rosi (Illustrious Corpses, 1975), and Federico Fellini (Fellini's Casanova, 1976). She also played Lonetta, the Indian maiden, in Texas Across the River (1966), Luciana in Malicious (1973) and Valentina in A Matter of Time (1976) also starring Liza Minnelli. She starred in Lifespan (1975) with Klaus Kinski.[7]

In 2000, she retired from film work. In 2006, she suffered a pulmonary embolism and died in Port-Vendres, Pyrénées-Orientales, France aged 60.[1][8]
