There have been many, many women in the James Bond's movies. They are all different and unique. Bond Women and the actress who play them have their own sense of style. Do you have a favorite Bond Woman? Either the actress or the character she played?


My favorite I think would be Maude Adams. She was different from all the other Bond actresses in that she played two Bond Women. She was in "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Octopussy". She played very different characters in each. My favorite was as Octopussy. It was one of the first Bond Women to be really capable of taking care of herself.

That's a tough one...

I loved Claudine Auger, who played "Domino" in Thunderball... I hated Timothy Dalton as Bond, but I loved Talisa Soto as "Lupe Lamora." Then there was Eva Green from the latest, who played "Vesper Lynd." They were pretty good.. I know there are some other good ones...

I liked Carey Lowell from the one with Dalton with License to Kill. There were a lot of good ones I know but it's sometimes hard to remember who all they were.

Maude Adams was great. After her would be Halle Berry. I liked her role as Jinx. She played well off Peirce Brosnan.Her
character was strong and very believable. Most Bond women I didn't care for, too wimpy. the other one I enjoyed was the Russian woman in Golden Eye. Very strong yet femine. She showed guts and determination without being masculine.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 7 out of 10,799 in watching movies  5 years ago

Oh I agree Jinx was great. Halle Berry is a fabulous actress and I have enjoyed her in everything I've seen her in. She was great as Jinx and as a Bond Woman.

I am not a fan of the James Bond movies. I dont like to watch shows were the women dress so little. LOL I have seen many preview of the movies and they just dont interest me. So as a result of this, I have no favorite Bond Women

Mine wouldd be Jane Seymour. Not because of her character but because of her abilities. She was in the Bond movie "Live and let die". Sean Connery is my favprite of all the Bonds.


Jane

Jane Seymour was great as Solitaire. I do enjoy that movie and it's one of my favorites of the James Bond movies. I'm not big on Sean Connery as Bond. He ws not my favorite among them. I know I'm weird, most seem to prefer him over all the others.

I loved Jane Seymour, I think she is just beautiful, even now! I saw some of the costumes of the Bond Women at a museum-they were very pretty!


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 7 out of 10,799 in watching movies  5 years ago

Do you know which Bond Woman's costume it was? There have been some very intersting ones over the years. Also which museum was it? I'd love to see it if I could.


myLot reputation of 84/100. mememama (2153)   ranked 3,024 out of 10,799 in watching movies  5 years ago

I really can't remember, it was a travelling Bond Exhibit in Vancouver, Canada. I remember one of the costumes was Jane Seymours because it was tiny! It was a lonnngg time ago so I'm not sure if it's still going on anywhere. But they had props and a few of their cars.

My favorite would be Michelle Yeoh who played Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies. She really looked like the modern 90's Bond woman who was capable of taking care of herself. Most (if not all) Bond women were dependent on Bond until that movie. She is crazy, she does her own stunts and she manages to look cool and sexy at the same time while doing them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 7 out of 10,799 in watching movies  5 years ago

I didn't know she did her own stunts. That can be very risky but more power to her for attempting it. I know I wouldn't. I may be a bit crazy but not that crazy.

I am going to be the odd one here once again. My favorite was Cassandra Harris (who most of you probably know as Pierce Brosnan's late wife) who played Countess Lisl in For Your Eyes Only. She's been one of my idols since I was a about fourteen years old. IMO, she was highly under-rated as an actress. However, she was perfect for this part, and all her other acting roles that I was able to track down...


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 7 out of 10,799 in watching movies  5 years ago

I remember the character. I liked "For Your Eyes Only" and it is one of my favorites with Roger Moore. The character of Contess Lisl was very good but I didn't realize that was Pierce Brosnan's late wife. I just never saw who played her before.

I think my favorite has to be Jane Seymour. And what a great choice the producers made by casting her. She is still gorgeous today! I mean I expected her to be pretty, but she is just stunning! I hope in the next Bond movie they give Daniel Craig a lady co-star as feisty or sultry as Jane Seymour was.


myLot reputation of 98/100. emeraldisle (8959)   ranked 7 out of 10,799 in watching movies  5 years ago

Jane Seymour was very good and I love that movie. You are right she is a stunning woman. I'd love to look half as good as she does. It would be nice if the future Bond women were fiesty and had back bones. Some I've seen just rely on him too much.

In many ways I think that Maude Adams was the most famous and at least of the earlier Bond Women. Yes I know that Diana Rigg, Jane Seymour and Ursela Andreas were also famous, but when most people think of the early Bond films and the bond women are mentioned they will either name a character or name Maude Adams, which makes me think that most people can remember the name Honey Ryder, but don't remember that Ursela Andreas played the part.

I think it is also interesting that certain actresses seemed to have a certain look I mean if you look at Corrine Cleary in Moonraker either they wanted someone who looked similar to Maude Adams or they made her look similar.

It seems to me that many of the women in these films have distinctive mouths, or lips wide mouth, full or pouty lips and most being brunettes.

Either it is contrived for each film over decades or just something that seems to be. Not all just most, this includes those women from the unofficial bond films

I liked Michelle Yeoh but I don't think I have one that is a favorite.
