In 1969, her mother Sally (billed as Dani Sheridan) featured in the James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" as one of Blofeld's "Angels of Death". There Sally met Blofeld actor Telly Savalas, who eventually became her de facto husband and Sheridan's stepfather. Sally became known as Sally Savalas. Nicollette emigrated to the United States from England in 1973, when she was ten years old. Sheridan began her career as a fashion model, appearing
Ernst Stavro Blofeld to set up his own private intelligence organisation. During the war, he sold information to both sides. After the defeat of Erwin Rommel, he decided to back the Allied war effort, and was awarded numerous medals by the Allied powers after the war's end. Blofeld then moved temporarily to South America before founding SPECTRE. In the John Gardner novel "For Special Services", Blofeld is depicted as having had a daughter with a French mistress named Nena. It is commonly believed that the name Blofeld was inspired by the English cricket commentator Henry Blofeld's father, with whom Fleming went to school.
