James Bond fans will remember her role as Fiona in the 1965 classic Thunderball.
Stepping out in Los Angeles last Thursday, Luciana was accompanied by her husband Michael Jay Solomon, 87.
Her husband also worked within the realms of showbiz and headed Warner Bros International Television in the 1980s and 1990s.
The smitten couple, who got wed in 1979, looked content and happy as they stepped out side by side.
Luciana looked stunning as she wore a white top with some matching trousers.
She completed the look with a floaty blue shirt that she wore open.
Luciana, who had flame-coloured hair when starring in the Bond flick, still has fiery locks today, and on her recent outing she wore them swept back and tied at the back of her head.
She completed the look with some sunglasses and a pair of white shoes.
Meanwhile, Luciana's husband Michael wore an all-black ensemble, which contrasted against her pristine white look.
Luciana and Michael tied the knot in the late 70s and then moved to New York City together.
The marriage caused her to end her film career.
In 1980, she became sales representative of Canale 5 and it:Reteitalia in the United States.
As well as living in New York, the couple has resided at an exclusive clifftop estate on the Pacific Ocean in Jalisco, Mexico, known as "Casa Dos Estrellas".
But the couple sold their lavish Mexican estate in 2005.
They are now thought to split their time between New York and Rome.

Another episode has a warning over 'Satanic images' WOKE JOKE More woke madness as beloved ITV detective show has been slapped with trigger warning over 'crime scenes' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) INSPECTOR Morse has been hit with his most baffling case yet — woke trigger warnings for the show's 'crime scenes'. ITV bosses fear viewers may get offended or upset while the mild-mannered Oxford detective solves his mystery of the week. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 Inspector Morse has been hit with a woke trigger warnings for the show's 'crime scenes' Credit: Alamy Streaming service ITVX even warns of 'Satanic images' in one episode of the crime drama, which ran from 1987 to 2000. Viewers must click past a parental control screen to watch series seven's 'Day of the Devil'. The episode sees Morse — played by John Thaw — and sidekick Det Sgt Robbie Lewis, (Kevin Whately) hunt down a rapist in a devil-worshipping cult after a jailbreak. One scene shows a Satanist being burned to death during a black mass. Many other episodes also have crime and violence warnings. Senior Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke blasted: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no trigger warnings.' ITVX was contacted for comment on the Morse warnings. It previously said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.'
