Our personal preference is for Lois Chiles, who plays Holly Goodhead (what's wrong that name? huh?) in Moonraker (seen above), but these ten are unquestionably hot on every level. Together, they make it a tough act to follow for Olga, Gemma and their new movie, Quantum of Solace, which opens today in America....
10. Domino Petacchi (played by Kim Basinger) in Never Say Never Again
9. Lupe Lamora (played by Talisa Soto) in License To Kill
8. Domino (played by Claudine Auger) in Thunderball, who is not only one of her favorite Bond girls but one of the hottest women ever
7. Jinx (played by Halle Berry) in Die Another Day
6. Pam Bouvier (played by Carrie Lowell-- yes, Richard Gere's wife and the cutest of all Bond girls) in License To Kill
5. Plenty O'Toole (played by Lana Wood) in Diamonds Are Forever. While Jill St. John and her totally radical hair were more of a distraction for us while watching this, hearing Sean Connery moan "Oh, Plenty" or Lana's character is the trump card in this Vegas thriller.
4. Pussy Galore (played by Honor Blackman) in Goldfinger. How the hell did they get away with a name like that in the Production Code era? Well, we're all the better for it, somehow. We're not sure how, but anyway, this list isn't complete without her presence... and oh, how we dig that raspy voice...
3. Solange (played by Caterina Murino) in Casino Royale. Perhaps the only complaint we heard about the most recent classic Bond thriller (and it was classic, no question) was that Solange doesn't get laid and (SPOILER ALERT) doesn't make it past her handful of early scenes. We can't argue with that, although the scene featuring Murino riding a horse is pleasure enough for one PG-13 film.
2. Tracy Draco (played by Diana Rigg) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, arguably the best Bond film and the only one starring Australian model/actor George Lazenby as 007. This is one hell of an entertainment-- Telly Savalas as the villain, a bunch of exercise vixens as brainwashed assassins, Bond gets married, and the tragic finale are not nearly as memorable as watching Miss Emma Peel in the throes of passion with James Bond.
1. Honey Ryder (played by Ursula Andress) in Dr. No. There's a reason Bond became famous... and it's not Sean Connery. Well, okay, it's Sean Connery, the whole "Bond, James Bond" line, some decent movies, and so forth. But would Dr. No have been the massive hit it was if Ursula Andress had not come out of the ocean in that bikini? We think not....
