I've had a crush on Emma Peel since I first saw her in the Avengers. When she was replaced I was heartbroken.

Thanks for posting the picture, it brought back some good memories.

Agree.....but I’m partial to “Dr. No”..just for the one scene of Ursula Andress walking out of the ocean in the white bikini...IMHO the greatest example ever that less nudity..the illusion..is far more sexy.


Right, and IIRC it caused a great controversy at the time over exposing too much.

Nowadays that bikini outfit is tame -

It was a good scene for a teenager....:^)

My favorite is still Emma Peel though....

Now for the real controversy. The best Bond Girl:

I don't know if she was the best Bond girl, but Isabella Scorupco (GoldenEye) was certainly golden in my eyes.

Sean Connery. But have to admit Craig was awesome in Casino Royale.

Yep, she makes me proud to be Polish.

That is what I love about “For Your Eyes Only”, no gadgets, no weird tech, just Bond against the Soviets or proxies.

Supposedly, the Sheena Easton theme to FYEO was the second choice to this one by Blondie.

For Your Eyes Only...Blondie

You realize this thread has nothing to do with conservative politics, right? Just wanted to let you know so you don’t look like a hypocrite.

I assume this is a rhetorical question, as there will never be any contest.

Fleming once said he envisioned Bond looking like Hoagy Carmichael.

You are right. Fleming also had Bond as half Scottish and half Swiss.

He did not like Connery until he saw him in “Dr.No”. He then admitted Sean was a good choice.
