Who do you think was Connery's best Bond girl? I like Domino a lot as she is attractive, and has quite a central point in the plot, plus she saves Bond at the end. Not too shabby.

[Turn]

The Domino effect continues. Count me on her bandwagon also.

[General Koskov]

Miss Taro: 'Ptooey! (spits in Bond's face)'

Actually since they were almost all voiced by Monica Van Der Zyl (sp?), she is the Bond girl of the Connery era.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

I don't know about everyone else, but Honey Rider, Domino, and Tatiana Romanova are my favourites. My absolute favourite is Honey Rider.

[Dr. Tynan]

I've just watched the DAF DVD (the docum.)

Plenty is Connery's best girl, in my opinion.

[Victor Zokas]

Plenty is certainly one of the most attractive girls in the series for me, possibly the most. She doesn't have too much of a role in the movie, which is a shame.

Tatiana Romanova - Daniela Bianchi

Because she was absolutely gorgeous.

[James Page]

I'm with Victor on this one, Domino is my favourite Connery-era Bond girl.

Intelligent, sexy, independant, brave, copes well with bad news... What more do you want? :-D

[Evil Doctor Cheese]

Honey Rider is probably my favourite. Tilly Masterson probably comes next (posh..nice!) but then I am partial to those fighting gypsy girls!!!

[rafterman]

got to be Domino and Tatiana....surprised no one's said Pussy Galore....

[Xenobia]

I can't believe this -- I thought Pussy Galore was a shoe in! Oh well.

Well, let me be the first to sing the praises of Miss Galore: She was older, wiser, sexier, amazingly well skilled, and could fire the one liners at James as fast as he could fire them at her.

And let's not forget the flip for flip match in the barn!

In short -- they were ideally suited for each other at that time.

(Yes, there is a pattern here: Xen likes her Bond girls older and with a career.)

I'm gonna go with the majority of guys here and say Claudine Auger as Domino. She's definitely the most beautiful one.

[RossMan]

Domino and Tatiana is a very close second.

[DLibrasnow]

I think the answer would definately be the absolutely stunning Ursula Andress. I think I have been in awe of her ever since I saw Dr. No on television back in the 1970s.
Even 20 years after she played Honey Rider, she appeared as Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love) in "Clash of the Titans" -- she still looked stunning and was the only actress to pull off the role of the Goddess of Love.

[Doubleshot]

With the other actor's Bond tenures, there's almost never a serious debate as to who the best of the Bond Girls are. When you think of the Moore years, the answer is usually divided up among Solitaire, Anya, or Octopussy. In the Dalton films, Kara Milovy tends to lead the majority. With the Brosnan films, it's usually either Natalya or Elektra King. But when you take a step back and look at Connery's tenure, you have a lot more trouble deciding which of his leading ladies is the best. And why is that? Because each and every one of them are so well-written and acted that you often have trouble deciding.

My pick, after a lot of self-debate, is Domino Durval. She was followed closely by Honey Ryder and Fiona Volpe.

[Righty007]

I think my favorite Bond girl during the Connery era is Honey Rider. My second favorite is Pussy Galore.

[Dr Noah]

It's a hard choice as I think Connery got most of the best women.

I must admit that I love Pussy Galore, with Tatiana Romanova and Domino catfighting it out for 2nd place.

[kevrichardson]

Claudine Auger as Domino in "ThunderBall" . With Daniela Bianchi as Tatina Romanova in "From Russia With Love" a very close second .

[SirMiles83]

I agree with a lot of people on this one. Domino, then close behind is Tatiana.

[Mr. Kidd]

I must disagree with the Domino majority and cast my vote
for Pussy!...Galore that is. While Domino is physically beautiful, I just don't find her all that interesting. I find Pussy to be not only attractive
in a physical sense, she also athletic and tough and a perfect match for
Connery's Bond.

I am actually surprised at the interest in Domino who I never thought was that interesting.
My favorite of course is Ursula Andress....

[booyeah_]

My favorite Bond girl ever is Domino!

[BondNumber7]

Domino with Fiona Volpe in a close second. Thunderball had the best women.

I just don't like Honey's looks, or Pussy's masculinity

[OOSe7en]

Domino. She delivers !!!

I liked Fiona Volpe too, but I thought Barbara Carrera did a better job in the TB remake NSNA.
