She played a skiing Cadbury Flake girl in a 1971 ad directed by Ridley Scott. In 1972, she co-presented the nine weekly episodes of Animal Stars with Tony Soper on BBC1, a series about popular animals like penguins, seals, and dolphins. Her acting career contains a recurring James Bond credit: she played General Gogol's assistant Rublevitch in the films The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, and Octopussy. She also has a minor role in Carry On Dick, one of the later in the Carry On film series. Eva Rueber-Staier married British film director Ronald Fouracre at the Caxton Hall register office on 2 January 1973. They were married until her husband's death on 2 July 1983. She has lived in an Elizabethan Grade II listed house in Pinner since 1984 and moved there when she was expecting her first and only child, Ronald's son Alexander Fouracre, who lives in Willesden Green and works as a camera man.
