Women who conquered James Bond

No other British officer as he seduces both. A job like hers should have its logical compensation.

When Ursula Andres emerged from the sea with a white bikini, the crazed world. That day the girl was born Bond: Dangerous minds or indifferent in a body dangerous.
They opened the door of a latent eroticism and sensual, which defined the agent as one of the biggest womanizer and misogynist century, whose ideal woman had to do béarnaise sauce as well as love.

The Bond women should have an incredible physical presence and bring very little clothing. Those that have permeated the collective memory are those of before. The Shirley Eaton smothered by a bath of golden glitter, the aspiring Miss Universe Daniela Bianchi, Diana Rigg (the only one that made him go through the vicarage) and Miss France Claudine Auger were aggressive but sweet, but wild domables.

Soon, the good became more good and poor became more poor, so it ended up winning the last: the Grace Jones of "A View to a Kill", giving a skilful kicking and sinister, or Barbara Carrera "Never say never ever. " Only Carole Bouquet or Barbara Bach gave height. In "Goldeneye", the evil Famke Janssen maintains a great fight with Pierce Brosnan type.
