OHMSS Ursula Andress mention-

James Suzuki

I was reading this today for the first time and I was quite surprised to find her mentioned in the book, a little bit like the
'other fella" quote in a way. I was wondering why did Fleming put this in his book, I thought he hated DN (the film)

Whether or not Fleming hated the film, DN, meeting Ursula Andress during the shoots in Jamaica left an impression on him as documented in his biographies as well as the "Making of OHMSS," if I remember correctly. Fleming is also known for giving nods to personal encounters and associations in his books, like the mention in "The Living Daylights" of his half-sister's name, Amaryllis , who played a cello, to a person in the narrative with that name that Bond knew, "Amaryllis somebody" who also played a cello.

Well she is mentioned in the movie as well in the form of her singing "under the mango tree" when Bond looks at Honey's knife.

Yes, Fleming included the reference to Ursula Andress in OHMSS because he enjoyed her company very much on the set of Dr. No. There are numerous photos of them together on the set. Ursula also liked Fleming very much and she is quoted referring to him after him death. I think the Ursula Andress reference in OHMSS is a pretty obvious example of the film versions creeping into Fleming's later Bond work.
