What Every Bond Girl Looks Like 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?
