Museum Fact Files - The Girls |
|
|
The James Bond Girls have become as famous as
Agent 007 himself. With exotic and far out names
like Honey, Kissy, Pussy, Plenty, Tilly, Holly,
Stacy, Tracy, Aki, Rosie, Bibi, Lupe, Magda,
Pola, Kara, and Jinx – it’s no wonder!
Some good, some bad – but never ugly (on the
outside anyway), the women who grace Bond’s
adventures are as necessary to 007’s screen
existence as his cars, gadgets, and guns –
but not necessarily in that order! Some try to
woo him while others try to do him (in), but all
succumb to the Bond charm in the end.Take a
look at the files of just a few of the women who
have graced the world of James Bond 007 and see
for yourself.
