The 10 Best Bond Girls

See if you agree:

Halle Berry at No. 4 - WTF?
I do agree with Michelle Yeoh though.

I suppose it depends on the criteria... is the list based on sexuality or character?

If it's sexuality I'd rate my possible top ten* as follows:

Ursula Andress (Honey)
Eunice Gayson (Sylvia)
Daniella Bianchi (Tatiana)
Claudine Auger (Domino)
Lana Wood (Plenty O'Toole)
Jane Seymour (Solitaire)
Lois Chiles (Holly)
Carole Bouquet (Melina)
Izabella Scorupco (Natalia)
Sophie Marceau (Electra)

*in chronological order

Seems to be based on both - I guess its a matter of taste.
Why is Rosa Klebb there on the EW list?? She's a villain?! :?

I'd put Famke Jensen in that list you've made but agree with Lois Charles and Sophie Marceau :)

I always thought Rosamund Pike was pretty hot... (from Die Another Day).

Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) - WTF?!?
Honor Blackman - WTF?!?

In terms of hotability (yes it's a word :wink: ) as I can't remember enough to comment on character, a few would be, no order except the first:

Ursula Andress
Famke Jensen
Sophie Marceau
Halle Berry

Actually I can vote for one on character:

Michelle Yeoh - She was excellent in TND, great to see she's in there

Yeah she (Jensen) was Brad, but Bond doesn't get it on with Rosa Klebb does he, Klebb is not even attractive ;) If we going the "villain" route Sophie was a villain as well.
Honor Blackman is iconic certainly, does it matter if the girl is a villain or not? Its about someone who has sexuality/character.

God, they're really harsh on Karin Dor.

And I thought Maud Adams gave a pretty decent performance as Octopussy.

I always used to think Terri hatcher was seriously HOT, untill she became a bit skanky and too thin for Desperate Houswives. I liked her much better when she was a bit 'fuller'.

Saw Thunderball yesterday, and thought Domino looked quite nice at times.
