All Of Bond's Companions Over The Last 50 Years
James Bond was no stranger to the finer things in life, including his many companions over the last 50 years of Bond movies. Bond sometimes met these women as the damsel-in-distress during a mission, or over a glass of "shaken, not stirred", but they were always dazzlingly beautiful, charming, and always in the right place at the right time. Let's go over the last fifty years of Bond girls.
Ursula Andress As Honey Ryder
The Swiss actress Ursula Andress had the honor of being the very first Bond girl, starring as Honey Ryder in 1962's Dr No. Rising out of the Caribbean Sea in a white bikini, Andress would set a tone for the Bond girls of the future.
Eunice Gayson As Sylvia Trench
Dr No (1962) didn't just have one Bond girl; it had three. The second was Sylvia Trench, played by English actress Eunice Gayson. She introduced herself to Bond as "Trench, Sylvia Trench". Mimicking her, Bond replied, "Bond. James Bond". This would become one of his many signature catchphrases for years to come.
Zena Marshall As Miss Taro
The final Bond girl of the first Bond film was Miss Taro. A conniving spy for Dr No, Zena Marshall's character got herself into bed with Bond, just to lay a trap for him to be taken out by Dr No's henchmen. However, ever-alert, despite the beauty in the room, Bond turned the tables and forced Miss Taro to flip on Dr No, leading to his demise.
Daniela Bianchi As Tatiana Romanova
Another double-cross for Bond came with Bond girl #4: Tatiana Romanova, a Soviet embassy employee played Italian actress Daniela Bianchi. She unknowingly lured Bond into a trap that almost cost him his life at the hands of Rosa Klebb, a Soviet spy intent on killing Bond and stealing a Lektor coding machine. Fortunately, she did not succeed and Romanova and Bond escaped on the Orient Express.

Martine Beswick As Zora
Kerim Bey, Bond's contact and Head of Station in Istanbul, Turkey, took Bond to a gypsy camp in From Russia With Love (1963), where two girls, Martine Beswick's Zora character and Aliza Gur's Vida character, were fighting to the death for him. Beswick is only one of two Bond girls to return to star in another film.
United Artists, From Russia with Love (1963)
Aliza Gur As Vida
Israeli actress Aliza Gur played Vida, Zora's arch-nemesis in the quest for Bond's affection. The fight between the pair lasted only a few minutes, before being broken up when an assassin entered the gypsy camp and attempted to kill Kerim Bey. In saving Bey, Bond also saved the life of the camp's leader, who in turn ended the fight to the death.
United Artists, From Russia with Love (1963)
Honor Blackman As P—sy Galore
English actress Honor Blackman played the interestingly-named P—sy Galore in Goldfinger (1964). Blackman's character played a female pilot hired by Goldfinger to incapacitate the soldiers guarding Fort Knox, so that he could steal the gold. Fortunately, Bond scuppered that plan in his own inimitable style.
Eon Productions, Goldfinger (1964)
Shirley Eaton As Jill Masterson
Jill Masterson, played by English actress Shirley Eaton, learned the hard way that you don't double-cross the boss. Whilst helping Auric Goldfinger cheat at cards, Masterson was caught by Bond. The two hatched a plan to steal Goldfinger's money, but Jill meets a premature demise at the hands of Goldfinger's henchman, Oddjob, covered head to toe in gold paint.
Eon Productions, Goldfinger (1964)
Tania Mallet As Tilly Masterson
British actress Tania Mallet played Tilly Masterson in Goldfinger, the sister of Jill.

After being thwarted a second time by Bond, Tilly met an unfortunate end from the steel-rimmed hat of Oddjob.
Eon Productions, Goldfinger (1964)
Nadja Regin As Bonita
Nadja Regin's opening sequence from Goldfinger was remarked as "Shocking. Positively shocking," by Bond, and it was. She and Bond were enjoying a bath when one of Goldfinger's henchmen attempted to end Bond, but was instead electrocuted by the water in the bathtub. Bonita may not have been a Bond girl for long, but she did save his life.

English actress Margaret Nolan was cast as the Bond Girl in the title sequence of Goldfinger, but was passed over for the main role of Jill Masterson in favor of Shirley Eaton. She did, however, land a smaller role as the poolside masseuse named Dink.

Claudine Auger As Domino Derval
Onto Thunderball (1965) and we come to French actress Claudine Auger as Domino Derval. Mistress of SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo, little does Domino know that Largo had her brother terminated. Bond learns of this and attempts to get Derval on-side to help him take down Largo.

United Artists, Thunderball (1965)
Luciana Paluzzi As Fiona Volpe
Italian actress Luciana Paluzzi played the Bond girl-turned-seductress in Thunderball. She would have succeeded too, had it not been for Bond's competency at sussing out ulterior motives. She caught a bullet meant for Bond in the film and her double-crossing plans met a swift end.
United Artists, Thunderball (1965)
Molly Peters As Patricia Fearing
Thunderball's second-to-last Bond girl was Molly Peters, playing nurse Patricia Fearing at MI6's detox location, where Bond spent the night after one too many martinis and narrowly avoiding SPECTRE agents intent on his demise.

Maryse Guy Mitsouko As Mademoiselle La Porte
The final Bond Girl from Thunderball (1965) was Mademoiselle La Porte, played by French actress Maryse Guy Matsuoka, who was Bond's French liaison during SPECTRE agent Jacques Bouvar's funeral.

United Artists, You Only Live Twice (1967)
Mie Hama As Kissy Suzuki
The first Bond girl in You Only Live Twice (1967) was Kissy Suzuki, played by Japanese actress, Mie Hama. Suzuki was a ninja working for the head of the Japanese Secret Service, Tiger Tanaka.

MGM, You Only Live Twice (1967)
Akiko Wakabayashi As Aki
Another senior agent under Tiger Tanaka's helm was Aki, played by Japanese actress Akiko Wakabayashi.

German actress Karin Dor played Bond's double-crossing girlfriend Helga Brandt in You Only Live Twice. A SPECTRE henchwoman sent by Ernst Blofeld to terminate Bond, she failed and met her own demise at the hands of Blofeld—by being dropped into a pool of piranhas. Ouch.

English actress Diana Rigg played Contessa Teresa di Vincenzo in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). Bond's love interest and his first wife, Teresa met a heartbreaking end at the conclusion of the film, when Ernest Blofeld ended her life at the roadside, as Bond helplessly watched on.

United Artists, Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Lana Wood As Plenty O'Toole
As much of Diamonds Are Forever was set in the United States, it made sense that many of the Bond girls in the film were American actresses, with Lana Wood playing Plenty O'Toole. She would meet an unfortunate end through defenestration when Tiffany Case was waiting for Bond in his hotel room, after helping Bond win at cards in the casino.
United Artists, Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

United Artists, Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

Jane Seymour As Solitaire
English actress Jane Seymour (not the Jane Seymour that married Henry VIII), was a psychic and tarot card reader in Live And Let Die (1973). She worked for the villain of the film, mob boss Dr Kananga. She possessed psychic powers that allowed Dr Kananga to predict the movements of Bond, thwarting his efforts at every turn. That is, until she met Bond and the pair became affectionate—she drew the lover's card with Bond at her table, foreshadowing the future.
United Artists, Live and Let Die (1973)
Gloria Hendry As Rosie Carver
CIA operative Rosie Carver was the second Bond girl in Live And Let Die (1973), portrayed by American actress Gloria Hendry.

She eventually meets her demise at the hands of one of Kananga's henchmen.
United Artists, Live and Let Die (1973)
Madeline Smith As Miss Caruso
The opening scene of Live And Let Die features English actress Madeline Smith as Miss Caruso, an agent of the Italian Secret Service. The bed-bound pair are interrupted by M, who announces an urgent mission for Bond. There's witty humor abound in the opening scene, as Miss Caruso is repeatedly hidden from view during M's visit to Bond's apartment. Dropping subtle hints about a "missing Italian agent".
United Artists, Live and Let Die (1973)
Britt Ekland As Mary Goodnight
Swedish actress and model Britt Ekland starred as Mary Goodnight, Bond's assistant in Hong Kong in The Man With The Golden Gun (1974).

Carmen De Sautoy As Saida
Played by English actress Carmen De Sautoy, Saida was the former girlfriend of murdered 002 Agent, Bill Fairbanks. When Bond visits Saida to find out what happened, he accidentally swallows the bullet that took Bill's life, as it is now a belly-button "lucky charm", according to Saida.
United Artists, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Francoise Therry As Chew Mee
Chew Mee might have had the briefest appearance of any Bond girl. Played by French actress Francoise Therry, she attempted to entice Bond to join her in a swimming pool, as he tried to pay her boss, Hai Fat, a visit. Lasting mere moments on-screen, Bond didn't say yes and went about his business.
United Artists, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Barbara Bach As Anya Amasova

United Artists, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Caroline Munro As Naomi
British actress Caroline Munro played Naomi, the double-crossing aide to Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me. In one of the most intense chase scenes in a Bond movie up until then, Naomi, along with two other henchmen for Stromberg, tried to take Bond and Amasova out with all methods of deadly force. Unfortunately, Naomi met her end when Bond blew up the helicopter she was chasing him and Amasova in.
United Artists, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

United Artists, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Lois Chiles As Holly Goodhead
Moonraker (1979) may have been one of the most far-fetched of the Bond films, as some of it occurs in outer space. But that didn't stop the Bond girls from taking center stage. This time, American actress Lois Chiles played Holly Goodhead, an undercover CIA asset working for Hugo Drax. After Holly's cover is blown, Bond must rescue her before the pair can work together to stop Drax's plans for global destruction.

Aruban actress Emily Bolton stepped into the role of Manuela in Moonraker (1979), helping Bond to find one of Hugo Drax's warehouses later in the film, despite beginning her tenure as Bond girl #2 in Moonraker by making Bond a martini in his hotel room. Unfortunately, Manuela would meet her end at the hands of Drax's henchman, Jaws.
United Artists, Moonraker (1979)
Leila Shenna As Private Jet Hostess
Imagine Bond's surprise when a seemingly mild-mannered air hostess from Moonraker pulled a weapon on him during the last leg of his journey home after a successful mission. Well, that "Private Jet Hostess", as she's credited, was Moroccan actress Leila Shenna. Bond is thrown out of the plane by another man, stealing his parachute mid-air to land safely. What became of "Private Jet Hostess" is unknown.
United Artists, Moonraker (1979)

As Bond says after being rescued, "We have five days till we reach Alaska".
Fiona Fullerton As Pola Ivanova
Nigerian actress Fiona Fullerton plays Pola Ivanova, a KGB agent that double-crossed James (shocking, I know). While working for General Gogol, Ivanova recorded incriminating evidence of Max Zorin's evil plans, but while she seduced Bond in an attempt to steal the recording that Bond had obtained, she later realized it was a fake.
Maryam D'Abo As Kara Milvoy
Kara Milvoy was the girlfriend of the traitorous Georgi Koskov, a double-agent for the Russians during the Cold War-set The Living Daylights (1987). Bond would gain Milvoy's trust throughout the film, realizing he was her only hope after Koskov double-crossed the Brits.
United Artists, The Living Daylights (1987)
Kell Tyler As Linda
Known only as "Linda", American actress Kell Tyler would make a brief appearance as a lady on a yacht complaining about being bored, when who should drop in (literally) but Timothy Dalton as James Bond, falling from the sky and fortuitously landing on her yacht with a smoldering and ripped parachute. His one-hour rendezvous with M became two.
Carole Lowell As Pam Bouvier
One of two American actresses to play the Bond Girl in Licence to Kill (1989), Carole Lowell portrayed Pam Bouvier, a CIA pilot and informant against drug kingpin Franz Sanchez.

Famke Janssen As Xenia Onatopp
Dutch actress Famke Janssen played Xenia Onatopp, one of the rare women characters in Bond movies that was an antagonist from the start.

Serena Gordon As Caroline
Bond wouldn't be Bond without a good car chase scene, right? Well, Goldeneye (1995) was no exception. This time, English actress Serena Gordon played Caroline, MI6's psychological evaluator sent to evaluate Bond's mental status. Bond took Caroline for a drive in an Aston Martin DBS, engaging in a car chase with Onatopp. The pair would eventually share an intimate moment after Onatopp perished.

Gemma Arterton As Strawberry Fields
Gemma Arterton played the unusually-named Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace (2008), allowing Bond to escape Dominic Greene's henchmen at his fundraiser, revealing herself as an MI6 agent working at the British consulate in Bolivia.

The French actress Bérénice Marlohe played Sévérine in Skyfall (2012). She would help Bond reach the target of his investigation: Raoul Silva, who had previously trafficked her as a child. Unfortunately, Sévérine's betrayal would cost her her life, as Silva shot her in front of Bond.
Tonia Sotiropolou As Bond's Lover
Credited only as "Bond's Lover", Tonia Sotiropolou made a brief appearance in Bond's bed at the beginning of Skyfall. No words are exchanged between the two and she's the only Bond girl not to have a speaking role. The least memorable of all.
Léa Seydoux As Madeleine Swann
Remember that Martine Beswick was one of only two Bond girls to appear in multiple films? Léa Seydoux was the other Bond girl who appeared twice: once in Spectre (2015) and again in No Time To Die (2021). She was the second Bond girl to marry him and the first-ever to have a child with Bond.
Who Will Be The Bond Girl In Bond 26?
With the working title of Bond 26 (2027), we may see another Bond girl emerge, or we may see the return of Madeline Swann and Léa Seydoux as Bond's wife and mother to his child. Or do you think we'll see a different character emerge out of the franchise?
