My latest bit of obscure research...

In The Spy Who loved me, James Bond visits his old friend Hussein, a sheik. Hussein has various beautiful women as servants. He invites Bond to spend the night. At first Bond declines, but then one of the women comes up to Bond and offers him a rose; she is obviously offering herself for the night. Bond takes the rose and says "When one is in Egypt, one should delve deeply into her treasures."

IMDb lists 4 women as "Arab beauty" in the credits of TSWLM. They are...
Felicity York
Dawn Rodrigues
Anika Pavel
Jill Goodall

Does anyone know which one offered Bond the rose?

[zencat]

I don't know but she was a beauty!

[homerjbond]

Interesting, apparently none of the "Arab beauties" are portrayed by Arabs.

My guess is Felicity York since she is listed first (and the list is not in alphabetical order)

[OOSe7en]

If I'm not mistaken -- Jill Goodall isn't one of the Arab beauties but is the woman who betrays him in the ski chalet (she was the one on the white fur rug if you recall.)

It doesn't become apparant until several viewings, how blatantly sexual this line is:

""When one is in Egypt, one should delve deeply into her treasures."

And in a PG film!!!

That's "Log Cabin Girl," played by Sue Vanner.

I read somewhere that it's Dawn Rodrigues with the rose.

[OOSe7en]

Damn! You're right Kara.

Yeah, she's one beauty I would like to keep me warm in a Swiss chalet

[Kara Milovy]

I wish I knew for sure, Cat. Until I find a good source, I'm going with order of appearance, which makes her Jill Goodall.

[flares]

I tell you what, whoever she was, she had one seriously low knicker line. It didn't leave much to the imagination.

I love that scene so much, it just screams Roger Moore

She's Dawn Rodriguez. I have a period "souvenir book" of TSWLM, and in the "beauties galary", it identifies some of the girls. Dawn is the girl with the rose.

If I find it, I will give you hints on who the other girls are as well.

By the way, someone commented that none of the girls were actually Arab. I believe that's because that shot that on set in England, so they had to use local talent!

I do believe that's where I may have read about it too.

The broad with the rose.. was perfect!!

Peter, thank you so much! I needed the source before I could put it in print, and to have this confirmation is so helpful!!

This whole subject thread is blatantly sexual.

Both the Log Cabin girl and the Egyptian girl were B-E-A-UTIFUL (like Jim Carrey says in Bruce ALimighty).

I wonder what the log cabin scene would be like if the Blond were instead Farah Fawcett, or even Bo Derek. Imagine that?

[Blue Eyes]

Easy if you try?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

But yes, Bo Derek hey. Can we have her with the braids from 10?

Yeah, but then we wouldn't have the gorgeous Sue Vanner...Still Bo Derek -- yummy!!

[Peter]

I found my book:

Anika Pavel wore a turban
Jill Goodall was in a blue bikini top and a ponytail

There wasn't a picture of Felicity York, so you'll have to watch the film to figure out which one she is (awww, too bad!)

[Kara Milovy]

Thanks, very helpful info!
