What Every Bond Girl Looks Like Now

Jimmy Henton

Bond ladies have been an inseparable part of the James Bond mythos ever since Ursula Andress appeared as Honey Ryder on the beach in Dr. No. Since more than 50 years ago, Bond females have competed with Agent 007 to discover who can be more captivating on the big screen. Sometimes they are Bond's allies, occasionally they are his opponents, and sometimes they are complete wild cards. Let's look at the 27 most significant Bond ladies from both the past and the present in honor of that magnificent history and the numerous actresses who have contributed to it. Let's see every Bond Girl Now.
Note that this list does not contain every single female character Bond has met throughout his MGM releases' 24 films and counting, making it impossible to compile a comprehensive list of all "Bond girls" (that means Kim Basinger is also out). This is a list of the main Bond females or the protagonists and antagonists who were crucial to the storylines of each film. For one movie, that may imply two actresses at times or just one. What does Bond Girl look like now?
