I had done a meme awhile ago that was called The 20 Actresses Meme. I posted many of my favorite actresses from the 1960's and 1970's. I didn't want to repeat that same list with this particular meme. I decided to do something a little different. This new list features women that have all played Bond girls.
Some might find it strange that someone can admire women that have played Bond girls. Personally I do. This is an elite club of women. There are so many actresses that would kill to play in the latest Bond film. All of these women are very beautiful. Of course, some of the characters are more or less eye candy. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that. But there are also plenty of these characters who are strong and very capable women in their own right. They play a big part in the success of Bond's mission.
I have picked one woman from each Bond film. There are other women I love from these movies, but these are the ones I chose. They are not in the order of preference, but in the order of the year their particular film came out. I hope you like my list. Let me know which of these women you really like. I'm not going to tag anyone, but please feel free to participate yourself if you like. Thanks.

Two Swedish actress Britt & Maud are ofcourse on my list too :-)
For me Honor Blackman must be nr:1, she's so cool and beautiful, even later on in her life she got the looks.

I think I will participate in this with my 20 men meme and let you know when i am finished okay. Mie Hama is my favorite Bond girl, though it can be hard to choose really.
I am a little behind on my Meme due to my melt downs here, but I will get it up.
See ya

Hi Keith, nice list but I am surprised that "Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana Romanova in From Russia With Love (1963)" was your second choice! How come???

Hey Sid. Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you liked it. It would actually be hard for me to pick a #1. That changes at my mood. That's why I decided to put them in the order of the movies. I do love Honor Blackman. She's amazing then and now.
Hey Bill. Thanks for the comments. I really love Mie myself. That sounds cool. I look forward to seeing what you do. I totally understand. You've been having a lot of trouble. Good luck with it. Cheers!
Hey Mirko. Thanks for the comments. Not sure if you read what I wrote before I posted my list, but I mentioned that these girls were not in the order of preference. I put them in the order of the years the movies came out. Since From Russia With Love was the 2nd movie, Daniela would put in the #2 position. Some of the girls further down would be way higher on my list than some of the girls closer to the top. Know what I mean. Cheers!
This was such a fantastic idea for a list. I know how much you love James Bond and his girls. These are some very beautiful women. I agree that many are more than mere eye candy.
Hey Phoebe. Thanks. Glad you liked it. I thought it would be a cool way to do this meme. I love 007 and Bond girls. Cheers!
Love the Bond theme Keith, great idea
Thanks Dave. I'm glad you liked it. Cheers!
All Bond Girls - and they did a lot to make the bond movies great.
Neat post Keith.

Hey Glenn. Thanks for the comments. Bond girls are a major reason why those movies have been so successful and long-lasting. Cheers!
cool, thanks for doing the meme!
Hey Molly. You are very welcome. Thanks for tagging me.
Hi Keith,
"For your eyes only" was shot in Greece and my dad played in a scene in Corfu island.
Ursula Andress and Halle Berry are my all time favs.
Nikos
Hey Nikos. Thanks for the comments. Wow! That is so cool about your dad. I would love if my dad had done that. Ursula Andress is my top favorite. That worked out good for my meme since she played in the first film.
