Just finished watching Octopussy UE and realized the girl ("Corrina"?) in the pre-credits isn't credited. Or did I miss something? I searched the forums and IMDB and now I fear I may not be able to sleep tonight...

I've no idea what her name is. She is a stunner though. Octopussy is a good one for containing little cameos from gorgeous women.

- Corrina
- Q's assistant
- The Indian hotel porter (or "porteress"? lol)
- Smallbone

Anyway, what did interest me about Corrina was the way Bond tells her "I'll see you in Miami", as if she's one of his regular play things on the spy circuit. She might have been an interesting character to have show up in the San Francisco hot-tub in place of Fiona Fullerton.

The name of the character is Bianca and the actress's real name is Tina Hudson.

I just happened to be flipping through John Glen's 'For My Eyes Only' book the other day and stumbled across this same info...

It does sound like Bond says: 'Gracias, Corrina.'

I completely agree. It sure sounds to me like he says 'Corrina'.

However...
the John Glen book devotes a paragraph or two (and a pic) in which she's referred to as 'Bianca', the film credits list a Bianca (and no Corrina), and Rubin's Encyclopedia has her listed as Bianca as well.

Another Bond film mystery...

Exactly. Probably a detail they just overlooked (it is pretty minor).

I think Bond says, "Gracias corrida".

Bianca was played by London-born model Tina Hudson. She took lessons driving a Range Rover to beat other girls to the part. She was only 19 when she appeared in Octopussy.

Nope, it's "Querida", with a hard consonant for the first syllable. It's Spanish for "Darling." Very Roger.

Mystery solved! Good job Major!

Ah! There we go then.

I tried to check the subtitle on the UE DVD, but they didn't even bother to do that line.

[DavidSomerset]

The major is right on the money.
Querida = beloved one.

Origin: Spanish
Gender: Girl

I'll have to pull out the DVD and listen to it, as I've been going from memory on this one...

How come the hottest girls in these movies are the ones that aren't credited? Look at the white tennis player at the ocean club in CR. (though she was credited)Querida is also a good example of that.

Tones of people were not credited in the earlier Bond films.

It was the Indian female attendant at the hotel who did it for me. I think it's half a shame they couldn't make at least one of the Bond girls an Indian in that movie.
