I trust Maud Adams more than Bondfans. She says she never saw herself in that movie for more than 20 years.
And I don't see her where everybody says she is!!

[Qwerty]

Well, don't know if you did this or not, but I put it right to the screen capture frame mentioned in this thread, and she was just in back a bit of Moore and Lee, walking.

[Cesari]

Yes I didi it. But for me it is not her there!

[Qwerty]

This is DVD you saw it on?

[Athena007]

One thing I learned from watching "Bond Girls Are Forever" is that Maud Adams really doesn't watch her films.

Also, I'm wondering if without the wide screen it's harder to see our potential "Maud". But on the DVD "she" is defiantly in the background when she goes off the screen she's let go of the guy

That's exactly what I thought, perhaps once I check the VHS later tonight I can see if she's just as visible or not.

[Athena007]

Great, let us know Qwerty. I'd check myself, but I don't have the VHS of A.V.T.A.K..

Ah, just checked now anyway.

She still is visible on the VHS also.

[Tanger]

Still doesn't look like her to me.

[Qwerty]

Still doesn't look like her to me.

At first I thought it was the other women in front of the girl that appears to be Maud Adams.

We now have a MAJOR UPDATE on this story... a comment from Maud Adams herself... ==> UPDATE: Maud Adams Confirms for CBn!

[Qwerty]

Incredible work!

[[dark]]

Confirmation from the lady herself! Mystery solved, indeed!

[Bryce (003)]

YES!

Good old Matt.

I also briefly mentioned this query during the BCW to him.

Re: Bond Fans - "You picked a dangerous business...Leave it to the professionals."

This is great. CBn cracks open one of the great lores of Bond.

[Kingdom Come]

Sorry but some of you have been 'had'!!!! I have a box of tricks that can get very close to the person on screen in AVTAK that has been stated is Adams and... it is NOT Adams.

[Qwerty]

What feature are you speaking of, Kingdom Come?

[Simon]

If she's seen the still/grab, can she id the guy she is walking with - isn't he supposed to be a boyfriend or someone similar?

That would sound more of a confirmation.

[Athena007]

We didn

[Simon]

If I saw a picture of myself, I wouldn't say, "I think that looks like me."

I'd say, "Yup, that's me and Gladys, the girl I was with at the time."

It was a curious confirmation. But if it's enough, then enough said.

[Athena007]

The thing with Maud Adams is that when you listen to her talk in interviews on film and/or in person and so forth you kinda get a gage of how she talks about things (like you would anyone). You and I may go into more detail with something like this, whereas she doesn't seem to do that. It

...But that's as relevant as playing Miss Moneypenny.

Lois Maxwell was great. You're treading on dangerously thin ice there Donovan. Being seen for less than a second on a warf is hardly what I would call relevant even if her other two Bond credits were terrific.

I don't see how they can say she is the only woman to be in three Bond movies when clearly she isn't. Only "Bond Girl", maybe. Only "woman", not a chance.

I wouldn't say it's not relevent. It's one of those "mysteries" thats been floating around since the film came out. It's a bit of a legend. The sort of thing that everybody has their own theory about.

Although, I always think it's kind of sad whenever the real truth behind one of these "legends" is revealed. A part of me doesn't want to know the answer. A part of me wants it to stay a mystery.

[Glor (009)]

Point taken Freemo. I was merely trying to say that there are other women who have had parts in 3 Bond films. It is certainly an interesting part of the Bond story to see her in AVTAK again.

I met her last year and she definitely seems surprised by the 007 following. To her the parts were just 2 roles in a long career of films. That's not unusual for actors though.

Ya she's a character ...nice though, quote nice. But you get the feeling all is a little tiring.

True, I can see it from that point.

Maud Adams in AVTAK, DVD lists it as a film credit

Its a well known fact among Bond fans that Maud Adams visited the San Francisco set of A View To A Kill and had a part as an extra in one of the scenes.

But I have never seen A View To A Kill listed so prominently as a film credit of Adams as on the back cover of the Region 4 DVD release of TATTOO which lists Maud Adams movies as Octopussy, Rollerball and A View To A Kill.

[Qwerty]

Interesting DLibrasnow, I wouldn't expect it as such either, only being a cameo that lasted for a few seconds.

What? And they leave out THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN - the masterpiece of the James Bond film series?

[DLibrasnow]

Yes, how crazy is that...check out the link here:

Notice they also misspelled Octopussy
