The James Bond movies wouldn’t be the same without the iconic “Bond Girls.”
And while there are often multiple gorgeous women in each movie, today we’re taking
a look at the ones who James ends up with.
Join Facts Verse, as we present: Every Bond Girl Ranked from Worst to Best!
Christmas Jones (The World is Not Enough) Let’s start off with Christmas Jones, a
nuclear physicist who helps James Bond in the 1999 film "The World Is Not Enough."
She's played by Denise Richards, who at the time was known for her roles in movies like
"Wild Things" and "Starship Troopers."
Christmas is a smart and independent character, but there's no denying that she's mostly there
for eye candy.
Did we really need a scene where she strips down to her tank top and shorts for no reason?
Plus, she ends up being the primary Bond girl in the movie, yet isn’t introduced until
halfway through.
Aside from that, one of the biggest criticisms of the character is that Denise Richards just
doesn't seem believable as a nuclear physicist.
She is better known for her appearances in Playboy than for her science skills.
Plus, her acting leaves a lot to be desired.
Her delivery of lines like "I can defuse this" just falls flat.
But despite these flaws, her banter with Bond can be fun at times.
Plus, she does play a role in the plot and isn't just a damsel in distress.
Mary Goodnight (The Man with the Golden Gun) Next up is Mary Goodnight, in "The Man with
the Golden Gun," played by Swedish actress Britt Ekland.
She's a Bond girl with a fun and flirty personality, but she's also quite smart and resourceful.
Unfortunately, the filmmakers didn't really give her much to do except being a love interest
and a bit of eye candy.
Goodnight works for MI6 as a secretary, but she's also trained in fieldwork.
However, her skills are mostly ignored in the film, and she's mostly there to provide
some comedic relief and flirt with Bond.
That's a shame because Ekland is a talented actress who could have brought a lot more
to the character if given the chance.
Still, Goodnight is a memorable Bond girl, even if her character is a bit one-dimensional.
Ekland also has some great outfits and hairstyles, which makes her a style icon of the 70s.
Tiffany Case (Diamonds Are Forever) Tiffany Case, played by Jill St. John, is
the leading lady in 1971’s "Diamonds are Forever."
Tiffany is a fun-loving diamond smuggler who always seems to have a trick up her sleeve.
She's smart, sassy, and not afraid to speak her mind.
Throughout the movie, Tiffany and Bond team up to try and uncover the mystery of the stolen
diamonds, and Tiffany's wit and humor help lighten up the otherwise serious tone of the
movie.
Though at the same time, the character was much more serious and darker in the Ian Fleming
novels.
So many people felt the change to the character was an odd and somewhat distracting choice.
One of the most memorable scenes with Tiffany is when she and Bond are in the casino and
she's trying to smuggle diamonds out of the country by swallowing them.
The scene is played for laughs, but Jill St. John is able to keep the tension high while
still making the audience chuckle.
Stacey Sutton (A View To a Kill) Stacey Sutton is in 1985 film "A View to a
Kill," and she's played by Tanya Roberts.
She's definitely a gorgeous Bond girl, if not a little unconvincing as a geologist.
Tanya Roberts was asked to play her with a fairly girlish and young vibe, which made
it harder to believe that she was a brilliant scientist.
Of course, Bond is still Bond, so he does end up hooking up with her, despite the fact
that he's played by Roger Moore, who was pretty darn old by this point.
In fact, he was pushing 60, while Tanya Roberts was in her mid-20s, which makes the whole
relationship seem a little creepy in hindsight.
But hey, that's Bond for you.
Along the way, Stacey and Bond get into all sorts of trouble, including an epic car chase
and a showdown on top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Stacey holds her own throughout and even manages to save Bond's life at one point.
Solitaire (Live and Let Die) Solitaire is a character in the James Bond
film "Live and Let Die," and she's played by the stunning Jane Seymour.
Solitaire is a psychic who can see the future, and she works for Dr. Kananga, the main villain.
Bond sets his sights on her, hoping to use her abilities to his advantage.
Seymour brings a quiet intensity to the character.
However, as a character, she is slightly underutilized.
Especially since Bond woos her, but then is disinterested suddenly when he realizes her
psychic powers literally disappeared after losing her virginity to him.
Harsh.
Plus, in seducing her, Bond ends up making her a target for Dr. Kananga.
It’s a role that was meant to be intriguing but ended up being more of a plaything for
Bond.
Still, it’s never a bad day when you get to watch Jane Seymour on screen.
Holly Goodhead (Moonraker) Holly Goodhead, the NASA astronaut who’s
also one of Bond's love interests in the 1979’s "Moonraker," is portrayed by the lovely Lois
Chiles.
Holly is not only an astronaut, but she's also a trained CIA agent.
She's smart, witty, and can hold her own against Bond's charm and charisma.
She's not just a pretty face, she's got brains too!
She and Bond work together to stop the villainous Drax from using a deadly virus to wipe out
all of humanity.
Holly is an integral part of the mission and uses her scientific expertise to help Bond
save the day.
Lois Chiles does a fine job of portraying Holly as a strong, independent woman.
Though some critics felt her performance was slightly stiff, which is why she’s lower
on this list.
Madeleine Swann (Spectre and No Time To Die) Next up is Madeleine Swann, played by the
stunning Lea Seydoux in both Spectre and No Time To Die.
Madeleine is a total boss.
She's smart, brave, and a doctor to boot.
But she's not just a pretty face with a medical degree - she's also got some serious emotional
depth.
Madeleine has a complicated family history, and it's clear that she's been through some
tough times.
She's not one to open up easily, but when she does, it's clear that she's a complex
and layered character.
And of course, we can't forget about her chemistry with Bond.
Seydoux and Daniel Craig have a natural ease with each other.
Madeleine challenges Bond in ways that other Bond girls don't, and their relationship feels
more real and grounded than some of his other flings.
Jinx Jordan (Die Another Day) Jinx Jordan is an NSA agent working in Cuba
who helps Bond on his mission in "Die Another Day" (2002).
Played by the stunning Halle Berry, she's a badass who can handle herself in combat
and has no problem taking down bad guys.
But she's not just a fighter, she's also a seductive and confident woman who knows what
she wants.
Halle Berry's portrayal of Jinx is both fierce and sexy, and she brings a refreshing energy
to the Bond franchise.
She looks absolutely stunning in her iconic orange bikini, and her chemistry with Pierce
Brosnan's Bond is off the charts.
One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when Jinx emerges from the water in slow
motion, referencing Ursula Andress' iconic scene in "Dr. No."
Honey Ryder (Dr. No) Next let’s talk about Honey Ryder, played
by Ursula Andress in the first-ever Bond film, "Dr. No."
Honey is the quintessential Bond girl, famous for her iconic entrance in a white bikini
and knife strapped to her hip, emerging from the ocean like a goddess.
But there's more to her than just a pretty face and killer body - Honey is resourceful,
tough, and fiercely independent.
She's not afraid to stand up to Bond and even saves his life at one point, using her knowledge
of the island to outsmart their captors.
And let's not forget her knack for sea creatures - she catches and sells them to make a living,
which comes in handy when they need to escape.
Andress's portrayal of Honey Ryder is equally as legendary.
Her Swiss accent adds an extra layer of charm to the character, and she exudes confidence
and sex appeal throughout the film.
Kissy Suzuki (You Only Live Twice) Now we have Kissy Suzuki, the beautiful Bond
girl from the 1967 film "You Only Live Twice."
Played by Mie Hama, Kissy is a ninja trainee who helps Bond infiltrate a hidden lair on
a remote island.
But she's not just a sidekick - she's a skilled fighter and a fierce protector of her homeland.
Mie Hama brings a quiet strength to Kissy that's really impressive.
She's not one to boast about her abilities, but when push comes to shove, she's not afraid
to take down bad guys and save the day.
And she and Sean Connery's Bond had fantastic chemistry.
But Kissy isn't just there to be eye candy - she's a fully-realized character with her
own motivations and desires.
She's determined to protect her people and her way of life, and she's not going to let
anything get in her way.
Kara Milvoy (The Living Daylights) Next up is Kara Milovy, the bubbly and beautiful
Bond girl from 1987’s "The Living Daylights," played by Maryam D'Abo.
Kara is a talented cellist with a heart of gold who gets caught up in a dangerous web
of espionage.
But despite the danger, she keeps her cool and manages to hold her own, even when Bond
isn't around to save her.
Maryam D'Abo brings a sweetness and vulnerability to Kara that's just so endearing.
She's got a smile that can light up a room, and her chemistry with Timothy Dalton's Bond
is perfect.
Kara is a charming and likable character who's easy to root for.
Maryam D'Abo does a fantastic job bringing her to life, and her performance is definitely
one of the highlights of "The Living Daylights."
Camille Montes (Quantum of Solace) Let's talk about Camille Montes, the fierce
and fiery Bond girl from the 2008 film "Quantum of Solace", portrayed by the talented Olga
Kurylenko.
Camille is a strong and independent woman who's on a mission of her own, and she doesn't
need Bond to save her.
In fact, she's the one doing most of the saving in this movie.
She's not just a pretty face - Camille has a backstory that's just as interesting as
Bond's.
She's seeking revenge on the man who killed her family, and she's not going to let anyone
stand in her way.
Olga Kurylenko is perfect as Camille - she's tough, she's determined, and she's got a killer
attitude.
Plus, she's drop dead gorgeous, which doesn't hurt either.
Octopussy (Octopussy) Octopussy, the mysterious and alluring Bond
girl from the 1983 film of the same name, is played by the stunning Maud Adams.
Octopussy is one of the most intriguing Bond girls out there, and not just because of her
name.
She's a wealthy businesswoman who runs her own circus troupe, which is just as cool as
it sounds.
But don't let her love of acrobatics fool you - Octopussy is one tough cookie.
She's not afraid to get her hands dirty, and she's not afraid to stand up to Bond when
he's being a bit too much of a playboy.
Maud Adams absolutely nails the role of Octopussy.
She's sultry and seductive, but she's also smart and savvy.
Plus, that iconic yellow sari she wears is simply stunning.
She's got her own agenda, and she's not afraid to take risks to achieve her goals.
Pam Bouvier (License to Kill) Let's talk about Pam Bouvier, the kick-butt
CIA agent, and Bond girl from the 1989 film "License to Kill," played by the gorgeous
Carey Lowell.
Pam is a total boss who can handle herself in any situation.
Whether she's piloting a plane or taking down bad guys, she's always cool under pressure
and ready to rock.
One of the coolest things about Pam is that she's not just a love interest for Bond - she's
his partner in crime.
She's just as involved in the plot as he is, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty
to get the job done.
Plus, her chemistry with Timothy Dalton's Bond is fantastic.
They're equals in every way, and their banter and flirtation is both hilarious and sexy.
Carey Lowell's portrayal of Pam is spot-on.
She's tough, smart, and sexy all at the same time.
Plus, that short haircut is so iconic and edgy.
In a franchise that's known for its one-dimensional Bond girls, Pam is a breath of fresh air.
Pussy Galore (Goldfinger) Pussy Galore is one of the most famous Bond
girls of all time, and it starts with that rather risqué name.
But Pussy is much more than just a funny name - she's a fierce, independent woman who doesn't
take guff from anyone.
She was from the 1964 film "Goldfinger," and played by the lovely Honor Blackman.
As a pilot and leader of her own all-female flying circus, Pussy is a force to be reckoned
with.
And let's talk about that infamous barn scene - you know the one.
It's a little uncomfortable to watch now, but at the time it was a groundbreaking moment
in film history.
Pussy's womanhood is not something to be exploited or controlled - she owns it and uses it to
her advantage, making her a truly empowered female character.
Honor Blackman's portrayal of Pussy is perfection.
She's confident, sexy, and that voice - it's like honey pouring over velvet.
She's a true icon of the Bond franchise.
Melina Havelock (For Your Eyes Only) Next up is Melina Havelock, the Bond girl
from the 1981 film "For Your Eyes Only," played by the lovely Carole Bouquet.
Melina is not your average Bond girl - she's a crossbow-wielding woman, out for revenge
against the people who killed her parents.
She's strong-willed and fiercely independent, but she also has a soft side and a vulnerability
that makes her all the more endearing.
And let's not forget about her killer style - that red jumpsuit she wears while taking
down bad guys is iconic and totally fierce.
Carole Bouquet's portrayal of Melina is spot on.
She brings a raw intensity to the character, making us feel her pain and anger as she seeks
revenge.
Bouquet and Roger Moore's Bond have playful banter, and their steamy moments are some
of the highlights of the film.
But what really sets Melina apart is her incredible action scenes.
From taking down bad guys with her crossbow to chasing villains on skis, she's a force
to be reckoned with and shows that she can hold her own in the world of Bond.
Domino (Thunderball) Next, let's talk about Domino, the sizzling
Bond girl from the 1965 movie "Thunderball," played by the stunning Claudine Auger.

Auger for bringing them to life on screen.
Plus, she's got some serious chemistry with Sean Connery's Bond - their flirtatious banter

satellite weapon to trigger a global financial collapse.
Natalya was played by the Polish-Swedish actress Izabella Scorupco, who delivered an exceptional
performance.
Natalya is smart, self-reliant, and resourceful, and she challenges Bond in a number of ways.
Izabella played Natalya with a determination and tenacity, yet a subtlety that made her
easy to watch, and incredible effects.
