Off Topic: I stand convinced that the Swiss Miss in Moonraker did NOT have braces.
I was the one who was sure Dolly had braces. I first saw the movie on American television at about age 10 or so. My mother was watching it with me, and I could distinctly remember her making reference to braces there. So when this Mandela thing arose, I was thinking she had made a comment about the little Swiss miss having races. Thinking back, she probably was saying that it would’ve been sweet or funny or something if she had indeed had braces. My mother would notice things like that in movies and whatnot. So I am convinced it is simply people seeing a missed opportunity and reimagining the scene with braces, a vision subsequently reinforced by a number of social factors. This examination of the issue makes many good points supporting this conclusion. Including the fact that everybody would be distracted by her boobs.
