Picking the right bond girl is probably the second most important factor in the success of any Bond project… only behind James bond himself.
None of the bond girl can be ranked less than other and trying to do so would be just foolish. Over here I have just picked some of them to be a part of my story, saying sorry to rest of them. I will try to include them at some other time, anyway, till that time enjoy the current menu …
Sean Connery
This veteran actor was born on 25th Aug, 1930 acted in seven bond, six produced by EON productions and one unofficial bond movie by Warner Brothers.
1963 – From Russia with Love
1964 – Goldfinger
1965 – Thunderball
1967 – You Only Lived Twice
1971 – Diamonds are Forever
1983 – Never Say Never Again (unofficial)
His first American television role was as a porter in an episode of The Jack Benny Show.
He is considered to be the most successful among all Bond characters and was discovered by Harry Saltzman and Albert R Brocolli. Low budget for Bond series, forced the producers to hire an unknown actor.
Connery's breakthrough came in the role of secret agent James Bond and played great contribution in taking 007 to new heights of reputation.
Dr. No (1962)
Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder - scene of her rising from the beach in her skimpy white bikini is so iconic that Halle Berry decided to follow suit decades later!
Martine Beswick as Zora - this Jamaican actress is the luckiest of all bond girls featuring twice as a Bond girl. She acted first as Zora in From Russia in love and later as Paula Caplan in Thunderball
Goldfinger (1964)
Shirley Eaton as Jill Masterton – this English actress gold painted her body from head to foot and is best known as the blonde who sunned herself in the balcony in black lingerie.
Thunderball (1965)
Claudine Auger as Domino Derval - Paris-born former Miss France started her acting career in the 1960’s. In Thunderball she betrayed her guardian to help 007.
You Only Live Twice (1967)
Mie Hama as Kissy Suzuki has the distinct honor of tying the knot with James Bond in a “mock” wedding ceremony, she also delighted audience wearing a white bikini for the movie.
Akiko Wakabayashi as Aki – She is so beautiful that you almost forget that Connery has been ridiculously made up to look Japanese.
Diamonds are forever (1971)
Jill St. John as Tiffany Case - The intelligent actress played one of the many women who literally Bond-ed (pun intended) with Sean Connery’s character back then.
Trina Parks as Thumper - Her appearance in the film lasted for only five minutes - but it’s enough time for her to be remembered as the first African-American Bond girl with breathtaking sight of all that dark skin in a skimpy yellow bikini.
Roger Moore
This English actor was born on 14 Oct 1927 and he played as bond in seven films between 1973 and 1985.

1977 - The Spy Who Loved Me
1979 - Moonraker
1981 - For Your Eyes Only
1983 - Octopussy
1985 - A View to a Kill
Moore's James Bond was light-hearted, different from Connery's style, even in its lighter moments, was that of a focused, determined agent. Moore often portrayed 007 as somewhat of a playboy, with tongue firmly in cheek, but also as a very capable and seasoned detective.
In 1983, his life changed when filming in India. Shocked at the poverty in India, he became interested in the Third World humanitarian effort and he has been a UNICEF ambassador since 1991. Now having reached his 81st birthday, he still appears regularly on chat shows, chiefly to promote the work of UNICEF.
