    Hmm, this is mystifying me. In the still image, Dolly's definitely wearing braces whereas on the bluray and in the gif it looks as if she isn't. I'd guess this has been debated elsewhere, so sorry if I'm coming in late. I dimly remember that when I first saw the film she was wearing braces, and the joke was that these counterparted Jaws's metal teeth. On the assumption that neither image referenced here has been doctored by a fan, my hunch would be that the owners of the film may since have had the braces digitally removed for home entertainment versions of the film in order to avoid any implication that Dolly isn't a fully adult character -?

    Yes, that‘s it {[]
    I found an interview with her about MR and she shared the following episode with Roger Moore:

    >>I remember the day Roger Moore had to be submerged in water all day long fighting with that giant python. At the end of the day he was wet, exhausted and fed-up. After the last shot, he said, “Now, at last, I can go back to my hotel and take a hot bath!” When an assistant whispered in his ear, “You may have forgotten, Mr. Moore, you have a press conference in ten minutes.” Roger answered, dripping wet, with a polite smile, “Give me ten minutes.”<<

    Great research :-)
