Duane Thomas Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 First off, I must apologize, I know I've probably slighted someone's favorite. The forum only lets me list 10 choices. For me, it has to come down to Diana Rigg or Michelle Yeoh. The former exuded intelligence, strong will, sex appeal, class and charm. The latter had a great sense of humor, sex appeal (of course) and is the only "Bond girl" I can think of who could probably have kicked JB's ass. Finally, after much soul-searching, I must chose Michelle Yeoh as the best Bond girl ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Does it count as a Bond movie if Sean Connery is not playing the lead? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I voted Diana Rigg, but mainly because I loved her as Ms. Peel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Diana Rigg. And thanks to AikiDale and Garfield for reminding me of that great TV serial, the Avengers, with Patrick McNee (John Steed) and her (Ms. Emma Peel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Duane old son, Are you nuts? This is like asking a kid to go into a candy store and expecting him to pick one candy bar Hell, now I have a headache and blurred vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Boit Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Halle Berry Remember when she get out of water in that swimming suit, Woahhhh This "getting out of water in a damn' well fitted swimming suit" was a classic with Ursula Andress, but it gets lots older compared to Halle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Julien, I understand you're too young to remember Diana Rigg... Guess this is a case where my friend's saying ("to each generation its own myths") applies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Sky : I do remember Miss Diana Rigg, I'm maybe young, but I do know my classics The avengers, I liked the latest version with Miss Purdey and Mike Gambitt (was it the character or actor's name ?) . But For Me, Halle Berry is number 1 and I would put Teri Hatcher in second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The avengers, I liked the latest version with Miss Purdey and Mike Gambitt (was it the character or actor's name ?) . The New Avengers: John Steed -> Patrick Mc Nee Mike Gambit -> Gareth Hunt Purdey -> Joanna Lumley BTW, Joanna Lumley appeared in Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Sevice" as the english girl, and in the Pink Panther movies "Trail of the pink panther" as Marie Jouvet (a french journalist trailing inspector Clouseau) and "Curse of the pink panther" (as Countess Chandra).

steve223 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 MAn this is the hardest choice ive had to make all week,Of the choices you listed Duane i had to go with Sophie Marceau. Just because she is such a hottie. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I picked Jane Seymour from that list because she was the best looking then and now she is still the best looking! That girl has aged very, very gracefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Rhino I know, I know....even Dr. Quinn was a total hottie....and the Landau guy on that show didn't have a clue... I kept waiting for Bond, James Bond to get off the train and ravage Jane under a big tree somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Maaaan Luca, you're a living cinema encyclopedia Well TV too. The latest show she performed was Absolutely Fabulous. Well, not my cup of tea, but, you know, someone had to pay the food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 but I do know my classics Watch out using that word around me, I get the same feeling when somebody calls 80's songs classics . They can not be classics ... classics implies that the stuff is old, and it's from my youth so how can that be old ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Being a Bond girl is so much more than just being a "hottie" and a bad actress. It also involves a certain sense of style that the latest crop of Bond girls seriously lack, except perhaps Teri Hatcher, who brought a sense of melancholy to her role. The trend towards making the Bond girl an equal to James MUST be stopped NOW. The hyper-liberated female butt kicker has itself becomed a tired Hollywood cliche and I wish Bond movies would not stoop to this archetype in EVERY single movie. Nothing against Michelle Yeoh or Halle Berry but they fall short as Bond women as they are simply hottie female Bonds. But at least they are decent actresses unlike Denise Richards who was simply atrocious. Why even have a James Bond if all the Bond girls are simply female mirror images of him? How I long for the days of Ursula, Plenty O'Toole, Jill St. John, and Sylvia Trench (perhaps the best looking Bond girl). I voted for Honor Blackman as she struck the best balance between real woman and bad ass. Barbara Carrera gets honorable mention. Bond women should be able to stand up to Bond (at least for little while) but they should not be able to outdrive, outshoot, outquip, and outsmart him.

uscbigdawg Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I voted for, "Izabella Scorupco (as Natalya Simonova in Goldeneye, 1995". Something about them Communist Block women... But how about Famke Janssen, a.k.a. Xenia Onatopp (Goldeneye), a.k.a. Dr. Jean Gray (X-Men). Yummy! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
