I believe her real voice is heard in NIGHTMARE IN THE SUN and ONCE BEFORE I DIE.
She was dubbed a few times by Nikki Van der Zyl.
Not sure about RED SUN.

I find dubbing on international co-productions is extremely hard to track and verify, as wealthy producers churned them out like nobody's business. This was some fantastic arts & commerce globalisation, producing some of the best and most lucrative (percentage (%) wise) genre pictures of the modern era as the old studio system came under severe pressure.

Wonderful tribute to a beautiful woman. Especially love the pix with James Dean. When I did a little of my own research, I was surprised to learn that she lived with and had a son with Harry Hamlin. Wouldn't have anticipated that.
Here are they are together, don't know when. 
I like Harry Hamlin. Underappreciated actor I used to enjoy weekly on Steven Bochco's legal drama 'L.A. Law'.
How about Ursula Andress' CV? It's pretty remarkable who she's worked with over the years, from country to country. And some of her best and most neglected work was done in the 1970s, when, much like Senta Berger, she branched out into more unusual genre fare and was warmly embraced in Italy.

I like Harry, too, a lot, and like you very much enjoyed him in "L.A. Law." As for Ursula, I'm sure you know her work better than I do. I really appreciated her in the Bond films, "The Blue Max," and "Clash of the Titans," which is where she met Harry. Those are the ones I really remember. I don't know her Italian films at all, sorry to say.

According to IMDB Ursula Andress did a few things in the 1950s but they are obscure.
"Sins of Casanova" 1955 has this comment:
"Billed lower in the cast list is the 18 year old Ursula Andress, only her second feature film role, yet one that this viewer tried in vain to locate."

She was a front rank sex symbol during the period I became aware of films and film stars... but in truth, Bond aside not too many good movies. I always forget she was around in the mid 50s, long before sauntering out of the sea singing about mangoes. I've always thought DR NO a bit clunky and lacking the smooth sophistication of the other 60s Bonds. But time has been very kind indeed to CASINO ROYALE (1967).
LOVE BOAT and FALCON CREST on her CV too. 
 She and Fabio Testi made a handsome couple. STATELINE MOTEL was the movie I think. OK heist goes wrong flic. Lucky Fabio also dallied with Charlotte Rampling and Jean Seberg, among his co-stars in early 70s.

I don't think you'd like any of my favourite Ursula Andress films, or feel they were good films, but I think you might enjoy John Guillermin's 'The Blue Max' (1966) if you've not already seen it.

The original is still the best. Pretty much the gold standard for Bond girls to follow.  
Swedish actress Anita Ekberg was considered for the role of Honey Ryder. Like Ursula Andress, Ekberg became an international performer and worked extensively in Italy.

How much Ursula had to to with these old albums is difficult to say: :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-6346425-1485896625-4531.jpeg.jpg) Nice. I like '60s surf music.
