Q-who is this?

  This woman, who turns 60 this year, is seen in this souped up artwork created by the Coolopolis interns.
   She is one of the more notable Montreal celebrities of the last 50 years and has even written an autobiography which we'd like to get our hands on and possibly even flip through.
   In spite of her magnificence we've still managed to never even mention her on this site.
   Surely you know who she is?
   Clues: she married a wealthy and prominent Montrealer. She has a twin sister who also had some level of prominence. She was in a few movies.
Answer: Yes, it's Celine Lomez, who was in a few well-known films, including the original Body Snatchers flick. She wasn't shy to appear topless in her films, much to the delight of the audience. She was married to lawyer/real estate hustler Jean de Brabant and mothered a couple of his kids, although I'm not sure if they're still together or not. She was apparently slated to be the third Charlies Angel in the original TV series but they picked the ugly one over her.

I think this is Céline Lomez, who starred in ... X-13, a NFB parody of James Bond. Sort of. Married a Count (!) or something similar.

Definitely Céline Lomez. She played the title role in 'Gina' (1975) which is very recommended.
