Carole Bouquet - Most attractive Bond girl?


I would say, she is easily in the top 3. Her greek charms as well as those gorgeous green eyes set her apart from all of the others!

She was in my top as it was when I was like 12 years old so she made me pop boners.

the best thing about her is that she has held up remarkably well

Horror ! Maryam D'Abo with the cello......."The Living Daylights".
The Aston Martin with mini-rockets, under the fog lights. 😪

I was too distracted by the fact that she was almost always shot in extreme soft focus to really appreciate her. (I've just watched this film for, I think, the first time ever.)

Then I started wondering if the soft focus was actually for Roger Moore, to hide his encroaching age, and that she got softened as well because it would be too strange to cut from soft focus on him to clear focus on her.

Then about halfway into the film, there was a close-up on her face and she looked like she had skin irritation right across her top lip, possibly from hair removal. So maybe that was why the soft focus.

From then on, all I could really see was her now-you-see-it, now-you-don't moustache line.



You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

Why was her acting so bad? Shes a very good actress outside Bond.

Star Blazer 9000 asked, "Why was her acting so bad? She's a very good actress outside Bond."

In Trivia it says all her lines were dubbed. I think her acting was pretty good, considering it was someone else's voice.

Aren't we all forgetting Jane Seymour?

But yes, Carole was certainly up near the top of the chart, and her character in the movie made her all the more endearing. Sad lost girl on the vengeance trail.

...then whoa, differences...

Carole Bouquet was not sexy at all at the time.
She's a stunning actress and she aged very well, but at that time she seemed to have that moustache in every shot....ewww.

And she didn't act that well in that specific film.

Being French myself, I won't go "ocorico"and shout out how beautiful she was. She just wasn't IMO.

reply

I would say that Carole Locke better as she got older.

reply

I like her but she's not even the best in the film. Caroline Cossey has the whole package. She just has something no other Bond girl has.

You think I'm crazy? Perhaps we're all a little crazy. I know I am.

Almost every Bond girl has been sexy as hell

Definitely attractive, I wouldn't argue against. I do think Claudine Auger (Domino in Thunderball) was even hotter. Of course, any Bond girl who does more than just be a victim has a marked advantage.

Gotta agree with you on that. Domino was stunning!!!
