Quick facts

Height and build

Listings vary, and she has not confirmed an exact number, so treat 5 ft 9 in as approximate. Weight is not publicly documented. Her tall, slim look came from her years as a fashion model before acting took over. On screen she often appeared taller than her co-stars, which is one reason directors cast her as authoritative, self-assured characters.

From modeling to acting

Lowell worked as a model in New York and Europe, appearing in fashion advertising and magazines before pivoting to acting in the 1980s. She made her film debut in that decade and built a résumé of supporting roles before landing the part that made her widely recognized. The shift from runway and print work to dramatic acting is a familiar one, and Lowell is often cited as an example of a model who made it stick.

Licence to Kill

She became a Bond girl as Pam Bouvier in Licence to Kill (1989), opposite Timothy Dalton as 007. Her character was notable for being a capable pilot and ally rather than just a love interest, and she holds her own in the action sequences. The film is often discussed as one of the grittier entries in the series, with a revenge-driven story and a harder edge than most Bond movies of the era. Over the years, critics have come to rate Bouvier among the stronger Bond heroines because she’s resourceful rather than decorative.

Law & Order

Television gave her a long run. She played Assistant District Attorney Jamie Ross on Law & Order, working opposite Sam Waterston’s Jack McCoy in a part that made her a regular on one of the most-watched dramas on network television. The show’s rotating cast of prosecutors is part of its legend, and Ross is one of the characters that fans still remember. She also appeared in other series after leaving the show.

Beyond the screen

Offscreen, Lowell has largely stayed out of the tabloid spotlight. She has spent much of her adult life in New York, her hometown, and she tends to talk about her work rather than her private affairs when she gives interviews.

Personal life

She was married to Richard Gere from 2002 to 2016. Details beyond that are left to her own telling, with no mention of children here.

What fans ask

The two most common questions are about Bond and about her height. As for Bond, Licence to Kill is the film to watch, and it’s now widely available on streaming and disc. As for her height, around 5 ft 9 in is the standard listing,.

The Bond context

Licence to Kill arrived at a moment when the franchise was reinventing itself. Dalton’s version of Bond was darker and more serious than the Roger Moore films that came before, and Bouvier fit that tone: she was a skilled pilot and a partner to Bond, not a damsel. Lowell’s performance is a reason the film has been reappraised by fans in recent years, with many calling it underrated.

Staying power

Lowell’s career shows how a model can build longevity in acting. The Bond role gave her international recognition, while Law & Order gave her something rarer: steady, respected work in a prestige network drama. Together they make a résumé that few actors from the modeling world can match.
