Simone Silva was born Martha Simone de Bouillard in Cairo, Egypt. Her parents were French and Italian. At the age of eighteen she married Cecil Silver, a wealthy businessman, and moved to England. Simone started her career modeling for sexy pin-up photos. In 1950 she made her film debut in the French movie "Le Tampon du Capiston". Then she had bit parts in the British films "Bikini Baby" and "Bachelor In Paris". The voluptuous redhead struggled with her weight so she began crash dieting. She was cast in the big budget adventure "Hajji Baba" but was replaced before filming began. Her marriage to Cecil ended in 1954. That same year she costarred with Diana Dors in the drama "The Weak And The Wicked". Simone desperately wanted to become famous and claimed she would "do anything" to get in the papers. At the 1954 Cannes film festival she was awarded the honorary title of "Miss Festival 1954" and asked to pose for photos with actor Robert Mitchum. When the photographers started taking pictures she shocked them by stripping her top off.
