The villain in the film was named "Jaws" and was played by the extremely large and physically imposing actor Richard Keel. The key moment in the movie is when they meet.
Some fans have pointed to a 1979 review for the film from the Los Angeles Times, film critic Charles Champlin wrote: "Kiel...even acquires a love interest, a small, voluptuous blonde named Blanche Ravalec. It would be a relationship made in heaven if only she wore braces."[65] The braces have been widely reported by the media, with a 2014 BBC News article even referring to Dolly as having had braces.[66]
Conversely, actress Blanche Ravalec, who played Dolly, wrote in 2016 that she never wore braces in the film.[67]
Mandela effect debate
Many fans of the film claim that they recall Dolly having metal braces during her smile, in what would have been a joke about both individuals possessing metal teeth. However, in the VHS, DVD, & Blu-ray releases of the film, Dolly clearly does not possess braces. Some fans believe that Dolly possessed braces in the theatrical run of the film, which have been removed since, while opponents of the theory claimed that she never possessed braces, with the notion that she did being the result of the Mandela effect. Online articles have generally agreed that braces did not exist and are the result of a Mandela effect.[63][64] Some fans have pointed to a 1979 review for the film from the Los Angeles Times, film critic Charles Champlin wrote: "Kiel...even acquires a love interest, a small, voluptuous blonde named Blanche Ravalec.

I remember this being discussed and I remember her with braces. Has anyone tried contacting Blanche Ravalec to ask her if she played Dolly with braces or not.
If the timeline has been changed before it was shot, she will remember without, if she remembers with, then the movie was changed somehow during post production and before release.
This would help narrow down the time and space that changed to make this occurrence happen.

"Hello Laurent,

Many have claimed she had to have braces based on semi-parody of the scene above in a commercial where Richard Kiel (Jaws) meets a cashier with braces:
So, seems she didnt

. . . I was born in 1970 and was a huge Bond film fan as a child. I saw Moonraker in the theater and then it was on HBO the summer in between my 7th and 8th grade school year. I had very crooked front teeth and was going to be getting braces so I was hyper aware of all people with braces. I KNOW for a fact that Dolly had braces because my friend Stacey and I would act out certain movie scenes and we got into the aluminum foil BOTH put it on our teeth and I braided my hair to be Dolly. I thought was pretty in the movie and she made me as an awkward teen feel a little bit better about having to get braces. No one will ever convince me that I am misremembering this. I don’t care what the articles say. I have noticed many other Mandela Effects too, but this one is one that I am 100000% sure of – Dolly did have braces in the movie version in the 1970s and on HBO in the early 80s.
