The Most Beautiful James Bond Actress

Maud Adams , Man with the Golden Gun

Lucianna Paluzzi, Thunderball, Shirley Eaton who played Jill Masterson in Goldfinger.

Carole Bouquet in For Your Eyes Only was stunningly beautiful

The first, and one of the best: Ursula Andress.

Fun fact about Maud: she was the Bond girl in two films, with the other one "Octopussy."

Léa Seydoux, Spectre

Another vote for Ursula Andress.

Famke Janssen in Goldeneye

Lois was good, but nobody beats Claudine Auger. What about Lotte Lenya?

She didn't fuck Bond but I always liked Olga Kurylenko in Quantum of Solace.

Joanna Lumley

For Your Eyes Only, Darling - Carole Bouquet.

Jayne Seymour

Another vote for Ursula Andress — a genuine stunner!

If Henry Cavill becomes Bond do you think he’d be in the running?

I read somewhere Ursula Andress was much more famous than Sean Connery when that film was made. It's def the most iconic.

A couple of comments in the Ursula Andress picture posted above say that the picture is really Raquel Welch. Here's one that's undeniably Ursula. With Sean Connery as a bonus.

Lois Chiles is hardly any actress. Did you ever watch her try to act? Painful.

Eva Green, without a doubt.

Truth be told, most of them were stunners.

I liked the fact that Monica Belucci was a Bond woman in the last one. Older than typical but probably even more stunning. And Michelle Yeoh was not a typical Bond girl in one of Brosnan's outings but she sure did kick ass.

Britt Ekland

Mrs Ringo Starr owns this thread.

Caroline Munro

Martine Beswick

Ursula Andress, Not many women can look this good with their hair wet.

Ursula and Sean.

Ursula is No# 1 and I liked Honor Blackman too.

Look at that hair on Honor! What a flip!

Oh there are so many to choose from.

I can still remember this Swiss beauty walking out of the waves.

Knife at the ready.

One runs into dozens of stars at events in New York and we ignore them as is proper. The only one that made me hyperventilate a little was Ursula Andress. Stunning in a tight gold dress.

The best Bond girl has a certain exoticism or foreigness about her with sex appeal and a bit of danger. The American (eg. Jill St John) or the British (eg. Diana Rigg) just don't have those qualities. Ursula is the Ultimate Bond Girl but I liked Daniela Bianchi.

Sean Connery and Daniela in Istanbul.

Don’t forget about me!

Oh my God, will someone show Madonna-man-arms the freaking exit?

The only one that's not attractive enough to be a Bond girl is Madonna. She's not bad looking but nowhere near the iconic beauty standard of the others.

She must have campaigned hard.

Jill St. John in Diamonds Are Forever

Second Chiles but I also have to put in a strong nods to Bouquet and Paluzzi.

Paluzzi as Fiona Volpe is my favorite Bond villainess by far. Though her successor Fatima Blush played by Barbara Carerra is fabulous too.

Diana Rigg.

Eva Green in R18 's pic resembles Kristen Ritter so much it is uncanny.

Another vote for Lea Seydoux.

Jill Saint-John wasn't the most beautiful. But she was a bombshell and her character Tiffany holds up well over time. I mention her because she really had an impact on me when I was a boy. I mean I ended up a gay boy but I was just transfixed by her in Diamonds.

They are nearly all beautiful and also show different types of beauty, from exotic to classic to sexual. I'd forgotten Barbara Carrera but yep, she was a stunner too. Others high on my list would be Maud Addams and Barbara Bach. Tanya Roberts was a Bond girl too (View to a Kill) and she was also a very good looking woman. And Joanna Lumley makes the list twice, in a way: On Her Majesty's .... and Bond Does Black Emmanuelle.

Seymour had the best face and legs, and legs, and legs....

Grace Jones

R34 How could we, you won't let us!

Trina Parks, bitches!

No one beats Pussy Galore!

Tanya Roberts was of course the best actress among them.

I haven’t watched many James Bond movies, but I remember seeing one when I was very young and if you could help me find the actress, it would be awesome.

I remember a scene on a boat and a beautiful woman (maybe in a bikini?) with very very long hair. That’s about it, and I don’t know why I just remember that, but I think it left me with a fascination for long hair. Any idea who it could be and in which movie?

Seymour vote for me.

Assuming you’re not kidding R53

For Your Eyes Only, Never Say Never Again, Thunderball, and The Man With The Golden Gun all have long haired women in swimwear at least boat adjacent.

R50 Probably Thunderball, circa mid 1960s. Does that match your childhood?

R52, oh no, I’m not kidding. I think I’ve seen maybe two JB movies from beginning to end and one of them was Casino Royal...

I tried searching for various James Bond girls with very long hair, but the only one that seems to match that description is Carole Bouquet. Were there other actresses in the franchise with hair down their back?

R53, I was a child in the 80’s-early 90’s, but it was definitely a movie from the 60’s-70’s!

.....

[quote]She didn't fuck Bond but I always liked Olga Kurylenko in Quantum of Solace.

I agree, she is an absolute stunner.

R50, Domino Derval in Thunderball.

For my money, Daniela Bianchi

Tina turner

Bouquet as in Bucket?

Bouquet, Chiles and Barbara Bach for me.

Isn't this a gay site?

Honor Blackman, Jane Seymour and Halle Berry.

Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp.

Agree with the comment that so many of them were great. Pleased to see the 3 ex-Avengers girls mentioned- Honorary Blackman, Joanna Lumley and Dame Diana Rigg. Classic beauties.

Oops...... Honor Blackman

That bitch slept with Hubbell!

Ursula Andress, Shirley Eaton, Jane Seymour... Dubbed!

Jane was partially dubbed from that link R68.

I always liked Sophie Marceau in "The World Is Not Enough".

Just about anyone except Denise Richards.

Bump, James Bump

Still love Jane

Wow, no Kim Basinger or Barbara Carrera and in the same movie, no less.

What the fuck happened to Jane Seymour? It's like she's had a reverse nose job. She's not so pretty at all anymore and her features have gained ethnicity...

There are no more beautiful women than Lois Chiles was back then. I think OP got it right the first time. Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau are my other faves.

I've never thought Ursula Andress was all that. Lois Chiles was stunning, as was Jane Seymour - love them both.

WHET Sophie Marceau? She had such a promising career at some point.

Carole Bouquet has a very handsome son named Dimitri Rassam who just had a baby boy with Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco.

Who has scoop on Charlotte's mother, Princess Caroline, and her marriage to Ernst? Supposedly separated for a decade now but never divorced?

Carole Bouquet loves her some Chanel No. 5

Carole Bouquet by a landslide.

If you get a chance, watch "Trop Belle Pour Toi" where Carole Bouquet is a scorned wife because she's so perfect in every aspect of her life, that her husband, Gérard Depardieu, goes for a homely woman, to whom he can relate and disrespect in the good sense of "disrespecting" if that actually makes sense.

Ursula Andress. Even though her voice was dubbed.

Her face is so beautifully sculpted. And she had an amazing body, of course.

I mean, when you look like this...really, everyone else in the room just kind of fades away.

For me, either Jane Seymour or Halle Berry. Too bad Halle turned out to be a cunt.

Diana Rigg. Honor Blackman. Joanna Lumley.

Eva Green is not the most classically beautiful Bond girl, but she definitely had an unforgettable quality. When Vesper dies, you really feel it.

Eva also has two of the best tits of any Bond girl.

I never could sit through James Bond.

When Eva Green was announced as the new James Bond girl, my first impression was, “What? That girl from ‘The Dreamers’?” But she was lovely in the film, and gave a TERRIFIC performance — the producers were smart to cast someone who was capable of bringing an emotional resonance to the role (and I know that might sound absurd about a Bond film, but if you’ve seen “Casino Royale”, you know what I mean!

That said, my all-time favorite remains the breathtaking, iconic Ursula Andress.

And in defense of Denise Richards, it cannot be denied that she was beautiful and extremely sexy in “Wild Things”. The producers of “The World is Not Enough” did her no favors by saddling her nuclear scientist (!) character with a ridiculous name (Dr. Christmas Jones) then introducing her by unzipping her uniform to reveal hot pants underneath.

Kim basinger

All the Bond girls gave ridiculous names, R87; that's the gig.

Rosamunde Pike must have pretty young when Die Another Day was made.

^^^ have, not gave. And must have been.

I don't think Pike was a typical Bond girl in Die Another Day, was she? IIRC, she was the villain's assistant but didn't sleep with Bond. Halle Berry was the fucktoy in that movie.

This is a great thread. These women were so beautiful, in different ways, and any differences we are having is more based on our own tastes versus right/wrong.

r91, Miranda Frost (Pike) did fuck Bond later in the movie to keep him occupied before her big reveal as a villain.

Not a Bond film, but damn was stunning.

Jane Seymour is beautiful. But tiresome.

Except in EAST OF EDEN, where she burns down her family home, almost slashes Anne Baxter’s throat with a champagne glass, and ends up a hop head junkie whore.

Barbara Bach

Tanya Roberts

Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole.....

R96 Sometimes Tanya Roberts looks like Isabelle Adjani to me.

I always found Honor Blackman to be an exception. Not ugly, but not preternaturally beautiful like most Bond girls. Too old and hard-looking.

And yet she aged better than most of them. Here she is at 80 years young.

Another vote for the ill-fated but accomplished agent Paula from Thunderball played by Martine Beswick.

She didn’t fuck Bond and she took a cyanide pill rather than give up information.

I don't think Blackman was hard looking. She was almost 40 and not nipped n tucked to hide it. But her features were great - eyes, cheekbones, lips, hairline, jawline. Her lean beauty mirrored Connery's in a way. Theirs was a mature, knowing appeal.

Britt n Honor

Honor Blackman turned 93 this year!

Ursula, Seymour, Bouquet, Chiles.

Martine Beswick has turned into Ruby Wax. I recognised Shirley Eaton but I had to look up Jan Williams. She played Robert Shaw's masseuse in "From Russia With Love".

Well, I'll give Lois Chiles some credit for being modest enough not to identify herself as the OP of this thread.

My vote goes to Akiko Wakabayashi in You Only Live Twice. She gets extras points from me for also starring in Ghidrah, The three Headed Monster. She's also a front runner for Most Beautiful Godzilla Actress.

Honor Blackman certainly did improve with age. What a handsome old lady.

You can turn off the charm, I’m immune

Maud Adams.

[quote]R107 Well, I'll give Lois Chiles some credit for being modest enough not to identify herself as the OP of this thread.

Chiles was mesmerizing in photos....and boring as ALL hell on screen.

When you’re most believable playing a white bread, prime time newscaster, I’d say you’re in trouble.

Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Brigette Bardot and Hedy Lamarr would have made great Bond girls..

I would have liked Grace Kelly in a throwaway role where she gets killed in fast order.

Like Shirley Eaton’s sister in Goldfinger. She was an awful actress like Kelly.

Tilly!

Her name was Tilly!

The Bond girl in Skyfall was stunning beyond belief. I don't remember her name, she wasn't a huge star or anything.

Her name is Berenice Marlohe. She is French and of Cambodian/Chinese/French ancestry. She is stunning.

Lois Chiles' main acting problem was her voice. She couldn't modulate worth a damn: everything was said in the same flat tone. Death on the Nile is one of my favorite movies despite her wooden performance.

Lois Chiles looks amazing in Egypt, too. Bette Davis and Maggie Smith must have snickered at that voice, but neither would deny she popped in the dallies.

She looked fantastic in Death on the Nile. If only she hadn't had to talk!

I still say Lotte Lenya. At least you have to admit she was the most talented. And who else recorded what may be the most popular song ever written?

Alexandra Daddario would be a good choice.

Her and Henry Cavill are already friends.

Exactly.

Lois Chiles was a very smart girl. She was supposedly Bill Paley's mistress and went on to marry Richard Gilder, a Wall Street Tycoon who has given so much money away, he has a block in New York named after him. (West 77th between CPW and Columbus). Luciana Paluzzi married a TV Mogul who was one of the heads of Lorimar and lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills. Barbara Bach is Mrs. Ringo Starr. Does anyone know what happened to the rest of the Bond girls? I agree that Berenice Marlohe is spectacular. I am sure she will be snagged by someone Super Rich if she hasn't been already.

Ursula for the win!

Who sent Lois Chiles to Robert Evans? I remember reading it in his book but I can't recall the name. Another producer, I guess. She arrived at his house one day and stayed for... a year?

[quote]Lois Chiles in Moonraker.

If Jaclyn Smith ,who was first choice for the part,had accepted the role of "Holly Goodhead" SHE would have been the most beautiful Bond actress. However, she turned it down. She thought the character's name was "tacky". So Lois(who I always thought was overrated) got the part.

It is tacky but that’s Bond

Lois Chile’s is kind of a “pretend” actress. It’s not like she’s a real actress, somehow.

I guess she was later okay on DALLAS, for whatever that’s worth.

[quote]R138 If Jaclyn Smith, who was first choice for the part,had accepted the role of "Holly Goodhead" SHE would have been the most beautiful Bond actress. However, she turned it down. She thought the character's name was "tacky".

But THE USERS, in comparison, was sooooo very classy. She played a small time hooker....and in the novel, the character had even done porn.

[quote]But THE USERS, in comparison, was sooooo very classy. She played a small time hooker....and in the novel, the character had even done porn.

And YOOUUUU read it.

Ursula Undress.

R127, I think the producer you have in mind is Ray Stark.

I'm glad Jaclyn Smith turned down playing "Holly Goodhead", too vulgar for an angel like Jaclyn, and not in a fun, camp way.

Jane Seymour..
