Best Bond Girl

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Could only go as far as 1983 with this one, we could do a second poll for later Bonds.

On edit - for me, Rigg first, Blackman second (just)

[Christ was Socialist]

1. ...

ah pre 1983. Thats a tough one

[GOPisEvil]

2. One more vote for Honor Blackman.

In a close race with Diana Rigg.

Yeow!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. Both! Good God!

[kcwayne]

4. Jill St. John

By 60's/early 70's standards, she was totally hot.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. Yeah. I was put off by the hair though.

The perm didn't really do it for her.

Picky? Me?

[kcwayne]

29. Doesn't do anything for me now

but look at high school class pictures from 1966-1970. That bee-hive hairdoo was the in thing. Remember products like Dippity Do? My sisters were all over that stuff.

[Whitacre D_WI]

6. Honor Blackman.

But only becasue Rigg was far and away the best female Avenger, and I though Ms. Blackman deserved some love.

Of course, that brings me around to why I'm not a big J.B. fan -- Steed was always WAY cooler than Bond.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

8. Steed was massively cooler because...

-he dressed well
-he let the women do all the fighting while he just goofed around with his umbrella stick
-he took nothing remotely serious, in fact the more serious the situation, the more ridiculous Steed got.

[Whitacre D_WI]

9. And...

He could drink that wussy Bond under the table.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. And then arrange all the champagne glasses into a pyramid.

Now that, that is something to aspire to.

[Paragon]

7. Um...duh

It's Andress, obviously.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. Ahem....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. OK, all I could find was the tiniest picture ever, clearly.

[LynneSin]

13. WAIT!!! I voted for Xenia Onatopp....

...and now my vote is changed.

I picked her because I adore Famke Jenssen and plus I would love to have thighs powerful enough that I could kill someone!

[Pert_UK]

14. I think I'll have to toss.....although I'll probably come down...

on the side of Ursula Andress....

:evilgrin:

Are you talking about "most attractive", or "best performance/role"? Ursula Andress was the most attractive, but rather hampered by the fact that she couldn't really speak English. Unbelievably, they overdubbed her attempt to speak or sing her lines, using a British actress with a wonderfully saucy voice, but who was VERY lacking in the physical attraction stakes.....

The bird from FromRWL is also GORGEOUS, but Maud Adams was too old and wrinkly to be a Bond girl IMHO.

Now, can someone remind which Bond girl was a transexual? I'm sure that there was one.....

P.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

15. Best performance or best looking, the choice is yours.

My answer to both is, of course, Diana Rigg. I put Maud Adams in because, bizarrely, some people have a thing for her. Not my bag, but whatever...
I believe the transsexual is the other dark haired woman (not Maud Adams, clearly) in The Man With The Golden Gun.

[fudge stripe cookays]

16. What? No Jane Seymour?

Domino the fortune teller was pretty hot/cool. And Rosie, with her big 'fro.

I object! Live and Let Die was COMPLETELY overlooked in this poll. The big pimpmobiles and silly 70s lapels are enough to make me watch this one repeatedly.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

18. Jane Seymour, I feel, lacks the essential sexiness and vigour for the role

She looks great, but she just seems bored and distant, uninvolved in the plot. Still, Live and Let Die is a great movie, and I put Baron Samedi in the bad guy poll.

[fudge stripe cookays]

19. She was psychic. Of course she was distant.

Always traveling off to someone else's subconscious.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. Ah, I see. Even then she was a medicine woman.

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. There ya go....

[Pert_UK]

34. GOOD CALL! I'd like to See More of Jane...Geddit???

Oh god I'm a hopeless shit....

Jane Seymour was indeed supremely saucy, BUT I should point out that her name was Solitaire....Domino was, I believe, Kim Basinger's character in Never Say Never Again.

Bloody Americans....

:evilgrin:

P.

[fudge stripe cookays]

35. Ack! Ashamed. Ashamed I am at such a flub!

Thank you for correcting the unthinkably rude misnomer of the lovely Ms. Seymour.

[LynneSin]

17. Best way to have done this poll was by Bond

You could have had 4polls - one for each person who played Bond (I know, there was that 5thperson who played Bond - you could lump her in with Timothy Dalton since only did 2.

Then when you get the best of those 4 polls - you have a poll to determine #1

:bounce:

[Whitacre D_WI]

21. There have been FIVE Bonds.

Connery and Moore, of course; and Brosnan, as you mentioned.

There was also Timothy Dalton (after Moore) AND George Lazenby (AKA The Best Bond Ever, if for no other reason than the fact that he was in the "Emmanuel" movies).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. Lazenby was in the Emanuelle movies?

And I thought he peaked with Bond. Sheesh.

[Whitacre D_WI]

26. The Emmanuelle renaissance of the early '90s.

Check his IMBD profile.

[LynneSin]

25. I know - edited to add Dalton

I forgot about him

[Fenris]

33. Six actually. I count David Niven.

Even though it was a comedy.

[NightTrain]

20. Domino's last name was "Vitali," not "Derval."

n/t

[Screaming Lord Byron]

23. OK. Could've sworn it was Derval. Fair enough.

Are you taking that from the book?

[Zinfandel]

28. Barbara Bach, magnificent globes (along with being a sexy exotic beauty).

[Fenris]

30. My heart (and, um, head) belongs to Diana Rigg

From my FAVORITE James Bond film. Fuck Connery!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

31. We've got quite the cult for OHMSS here, don't we.

It's a great movie.

[Fenris]

32. I was a Bond freak in my youth

I thought that movie was superior to any of Connery's, and definitely superior to any of Moore's. How could you not love Telly Savalas sans earlobes? And don't get me started on the downhill ski battle!

The Dalton and Brosnan films don't come anywhere close.
