Who's the girl?

In Thunderball, Bond enters the casino to meet Largo and buys chips at the cashier.
He turns to go on to casino floor and almost bumps into a blond girl patron wearing an evening gown.
They look at each other for a second then she passes on and he goes in. It looks very contrived to me, like an inside joke. I think this girl is an actress from an earlier movie but I've never been able to identify who she is. She looks a lot like Margaret Noland.
Does anybody know who this actress is?

    Was there a particular significance or inside joke about the encounter that's noteworthy?

    I saw it simply as one of those awkward moments two people walk into each other.

    Before TB, Guy Hamilton directed her in 'The Devil's Disciple', and she also starred with many Bond film actors prior to TB too.

    Kevin McClory does his Hitchcock appearance just before that scene.
