Legendary (James) Bond Girls Exposed!

James Bond – Sexy secret agent man known for his womanizing ways… oh and of course saving the world from eminent doom. Created by novelist Ian Fleming and externalized as the ultimate ladies man by millions of people for the past 48 years, James Bond is the coolest manly man to ever walk the Earth. And just as every manly man has to have a female counterpart, James Bond has the Bond girl. After all, one dream that every aspiring actress has is to die in the arms of James Bond.

These courageous ladies are far from shy and definitely far from ugly. The typical Bond Girl is in her early to mid-twenties, roughly ten years younger than Bond, who seems to be in his mid-thirties. Bond Girls also have a degree of independence even though they are clearly intended as sex objects. They are often victims rescued by Bond, fellow agents or allies, villains or members of an enemy organization, most typically the villain’s accomplice, assistant or mistress. Some are mere eye candy and have no direct involvement in Bond’s mission, and other Bond Girls play a pivotal role in the success of the mission.

To date, only two Bond Girls have actually captured James Bond’s heart. The first, Tracy Draco (Diana Rigg), married Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) but was later shot dead at the end of the movie. The second, was Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) in Casino Royale (2006), but unfortunately she committed suicide by drowning herself in a canal in Venice. So what’s the morale of these stories? Well James Bond is just destined to roam the earth in search of the next global disaster and a vixen to help him save the world. Or at least help him take his mind off of things for a night or two.

How lucky can one man get? Every movie has a main Bond girl, sometimes one or two secondary Bond girls and a Bond villain who is normally the main villain’s henchwoman… and Bond gets to sleep with all of them. Some of the most famous secondary Bond girls and Bond villains include Grace Jones, Famke Janssen, Halle Berry, Teri Hatcher and Sophie Marceau and you can bet there’s going to be many more to come.
