THE BOND GIRLS
From Ursula Andress rising from the surf
in Dr. No to Halle Berry rising from the surf in Die Another Day,
Bond's love interests leave an indelible impression. They're stunning,
they're glamorous and they all fall into Bond's arms within five
minutes. The Bond Girls often play highly intelligent roles as
villains, other agents and professionals who frequently could play the
role of Bond just as well, if not sometimes better than Bond himself.
The Bond Girls have constantly been changing becoming distinctly more
complex and enjoying a greater freedom and scope with ranging roles in
the films. As long as there is James Bond 007, there will always be
Bond Girls.
Bond girl roles are high profile parts, and
the announcement
of the actresses playing them is usually surrounded with a large amount
of publicity. For actresses not already established, the parts can be a
major boost to a career. Most Bond Girl characters fall into one of the
categories of, victim rescued by Bond early in the movie, fellow agent
assigned to the same task & villain or member of enemy organisation
bent on Bond's destruction. Enemy Bond girls frequently change sides
during the course of the movie. Supposedly friendly girls have also
been known to betray Bond. Initially Bond girls were relatively
ineffectual characters, needing to be rescued and protected by Bond. In
later movies they became more equal, having special skills needed by
Bond to complete his mission, and sometimes rescuing Bond. It is usual
for surviving Bond girl characters at the end of the movie to express
their gratitude and affection for Bond in the most intimate way
possible. Uniquely one Bond Girl (Tracy in On Her Majesty's Secret
Service, played by Diana Rigg) married Bond at the end of the movie,
only to be killed the same day.
