When taking into consideration how long ago they were a Bond girl, which one has the years been most kind to? I think that quite a few have aged gracefully...Jill St. John, Maud Adams, Barbara Bach, Kim Basinger, Cary Lowell and Tanya Roberts...come quickly to mind. But the ONE I would select, again taking the length of time since they were a Bond girl into consideration, is Jane Seymour. I was just amazed watching her in The Wedding Crashers last year, 32 years after watching her in Live And Let Die. She still looks hot. In fact, I think she is even more beautiful now than she was back then.

By the way, did anyone who saw The Wedding Crashers, note the Bond connection? Roger Moore's first Bond co-star (Seymour) and last Bond co-star (Christopher Walken in AVTAK), played husband and wife in The Wedding Crashers?

Noticed the connection Spurrier. I also agree that Jane looked fantastic.

I wonder what Claudine Auger looks like today? Anyone have a recent pic?

Carole Bouquet also looks great for her age.

IMO Southern European and black women usually age more gracefully.

Definitely Jane Seymour, but also Carole Bouquet and Maryam d'Abo.

I won't mention any of the Brosnan era ones, since that'd kinda be cheating.

Taking into consideration that she will be turning 69 in June, my vote goes to Luciana Paluzzi.

For the record, I agree with that Jane is still smoking hot.

In addition, Daniella Bianchi - FRWL on the docs still looks good and she does have her charm. I'll also spend any amount of time with Lana Wood - she's a character for sure and a delight to be around.

Not because I'm french myself, but honestly Carole Bouquet is amazing, even more beautiful today than she was when she played Melina in... 1981. Really amazing.

It would be very hard to argue against Jane, as she does look incredible...

Most nearly all the Bond girls have aged well (as have the Bonds themselves). Must be something in the production water. :tup:

But seriously, all the aforementioned suggestions are very good. For the '60s, I'd go with Daniela Bianchi. For the '70s, Jane Seymour. For the '80s, Carole Bouquet, although Maud Adams has really aged well too. For the '90s, well it really hasn't been that long for the actresses to change that much. However, for the sake of continuity, I will say Izabella Scorupco.

My overall choice, though, would be Jane Seymour. She still looks great 35 years after her movie debut--arguably even better than in Live And Let Die.
She was, and is, one beautiful woman.

I think Gloria Hendry is much better looking now than in 1973. FOXY LADY!

My theory about Southern European women is proving correct according to most your replies.

Martine Beswick and Britt Ekland also look great for their age.

Maddie Smith (The Italian agent who had her dress unzipped by Roger's magnetic LED watch in LALD) must be knocking on a bit but she still looks great whenever she pops up on the telly.

Yes, but we need to take into account the joys of BOTOX. Ursula Andress looks rough. Cant believe she was that beauty who walked out of the sea in Dr. No...

There was a survey recently to find Britain's Sexiest Pensioner . Sean Connery won for the chaps but Honor Blackman came a very close second behind Dame Helen Mirren. As Honor is 78, that is no mean feet and she still looks great.

For the record, Dame Diana Rigg also did very well in the poll.

Either Jane Seymour or Maryam d'Abo. They've aged very nicely.

A lot of them have aged very well, but I have to agree with the majority that said Jane Seymour. She has aged great. :tup:

I just have one question though, why is this topic in the Casino Royale section? :D

Jill St. John, Maud Adams, Barbara Bach, Kim Basinger, Cary Lowell and Tanya Roberts...


I would agree on all counts, except for perhaps Barbara Bach. She makes quite a few public appearances with hubby Ringo and sometimes looks simply ghastly, and at other times stunning. She is my personal favorite of all the Bond girls though.

My vote would go with Kim Basinger,
