:cool:

Well! She certainly looks the part, but I have not seen her acting skills as of yet, but perhaps I should start now.

She has a great body, but there's something about her eyes. They're not quite cross-eyed, but... I don't know... something seems off.

How old is she, by the way?

1. Post the attachment first.
2. Then open it.
3. Then click the "edit" button to reopen your post.
4. Then insert the attachment's URL using the tags.
5. Then click the "save changes" button.

Voila.
:)

PS: By using step 4 you can also link an image directly from another site, but there's no knowing how long that image will stay up on that site.

She has good acting skills, though some of the Dialogue on JAG can be campy at times, but she is definintley better than some of the Bond girls we've had [cough, Denise Richards and Halley Berry, cough, cough]

I'm all for it. Bring her on. As long as she doesn't play another agent. Maybe she can be a stripper who witnesses a murder, and James has to protect her from an assassin. SHe's got the bod for it.

The smartest thing in the world EON could do is hire this woman on the spot for the next Bond girl. My God, in the old days, Terence Young and Peter Hunt would havd had her in their office signing on the dotted line. Pter had the common sense to hire Diana Rigg because she could handle the part. Catherine can handle the part. Now, what we need is a good writer (a Maibaum, with some help from a Simon Raven), a damned good, classy director (not a Tamahooi, read: a Peter Hunt-type) and I think we're in business. If this is really going to be Pierce's last Bond, give him the works. Oh, my pulse is racing now...must be those pics...

Woo-hoo!! 5'9"!!! There's nothing better than a tall Bond girl! Famke Janssen (5'11"), Izabella Scorupcoe (5'8"), Rosamund Pike (5'9") Sophie Marceau (5'7"), Denise Richards (5'7").

Hire this woman now!! For her height, AND everything else.

I think that this is going to be JAG's last season, and I think Catherine will be available for work on a full-time basis by the time they get around to the nitty gritty of Bond. After playing a military officer on JAG for as long as she has, I think she will be very open to playing someone who is NOT--repeat, not!-a government agent. Look at Tracy. She was a free spirit, but still managed to kick Grunther's *** good. Catherine is a bit of an extremist in her personal life, kick boxing, bungee jumping. Have her be an adventuress or something. Someone who lives for the thrill of the chase. Someone who wants to live each day as if it were her last. THAT side of Bond would be good to have a common link to. And for God's sake, make it sexy. Connery in bed with Luciana Paluzzi was a lot sexier than Pierce and Halle in DAD. Try that approach.

Works for me. I knew she had that exotic look about her, and her Iranian mother explains it. I think women who have mixed parents are the most beautiful women. I had an ex-fiancee who was half-Irish, half-Korean. She looked like an asian Jennifer Connelly. Damn gorgeous. Talk about the one that got away.

Chandler: What makes you think JAG will bow out after this season? It still has some time to go?

Let's not forget folks, that just like Sarah McKenzie (her character on JAG), Catherine is part Arabic, and she does speak Farsi, so she would make a for a very interesting and authentic Bond girl.

JAG is moving to Friday nights this fall, and the creators are still not sure how the season will play out. The first half is planned and mapped out, but they are waiting to see how the initial ratings go on the new night before they plot out the rest of the season. I hope the show goes on. The creators have said they hope so, too. I am glad many of you feel the same way about Catherine Bell. She is the most perfect choice for a Bond girl since Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg.

Let me tell you...with a show with the kind of following that JAG has, Friday nights might work. It worked for the X-Files, that's for sure.

I've got my fingers crossed, Xenobia. It's a really good show with a damned good cast, and I would hate to see it end before its time.

For those of you into Catherine Bell why don't you visit CatherineBellOnine, if you didn't already know that is.

I've just joined the mailing list, but the forums have been closed at CB's request.

Howerver, you cal ask her a question via [email protected] and your question could be answered online in Messages To CB.

Of course I asked the obvious question and even included the URL to this thread in my email for her to look at. :)


A different look....

Anyone wanna a start a thread on who should write the script?
