5 Best James Bond Girls of All Time, Ranked
Viewers may not remember many of the superspy's girlfriends, but some are impossible to forget.
Bond girls are female characters in which the protagonist has a long-term or short-term romantic interest. In total, Bond has had as many as... 79 girls in 25 movies, and this is a list of only the most outstanding ones.
5. Solitaire, Live And Let Die
Solitaire, played by Jane Seymour, is perhaps one of the most beautiful women ever to appear in a 007 movie. Solitaire is also the most mysterious Bond girl.
In the seventies, Bond producers loved to experiment with the genres that were popular at the time, which is why Bond suddenly mastered karate in The Man with the Golden Gun and went into space in Moonraker.
In Live and Let Die, the writers decided to add some supernatural, and Solitaire gained the ability to predict the future using tarot cards.
4. Honey Ryder, Dr. No
Honey Ryder is the first on-screen Bond girl. Actress Ursula Andress immediately set a high bar for all future companions of 007.
Her first appearance – walking out of the ocean in a bikini – is still considered one of the iconic Bond scenes.
3. Camille Montes, Quantum of Solace
Camille is the only companion of 007 who spent more than half of the movie with him and managed not to get into his bed. And all because Camille met Bond when he was out to avenge the death of his girlfriend Vesper Lynd.
It turned out that Camille also dreamed of avenging her family's murderer. The characters helped each other not only to get revenge, but also to understand themselves.
2. Teresa Di Vincenzo, On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The only woman who managed to drag Agent 007 to the altar. Unfortunately, the marriage of James and Teresa ended tragically even before the wedding night: Teresa died at the hands of the 007's enemies.
But death did not prevent Di Vincenzo from becoming the only superspy's lover to be regularly remembered in subsequent movies.
1. Vesper Lynd, Casino Royale
Smart, beautiful and dangerous, Vesper won Bond's heart like no other woman. For Vesper, the agent was willing to give up the most precious things in life – his job and England.
Yes, Vesper deceived Bond, but she paid the price for her deception. Moreover, she did everything in her power to save her lover and put Bond on the trail of the criminals.
