The actresses who have played "Bond Girls," are perhaps some of the most stunning in the world. Ursula Andress of "Dr. No," Britt Ekland of "The Man With The Golden Gun," Barbara Bach of "The Spy Who Loved Me," and of course, Jane Seymour in "Live And Let Die." These beauties remain a source of style and beauty inspiration today. But the image that lives in the public consciousness is typically their bikini-clad Bond girl image, even though that may have been a decade (or a few decades) ago.
These women are just as gorgeous today. They may no longer frolic on the silver screen in swimsuits, but they still know how to turn up the glamour on the red carpet. In honor of the 50th anniversary of "Dr. No" this week, take a look in the gallery below to see Shirley Eaton of "Goldfinger," Claudine Auger of "Thunderball" and more 007 Bond Girls then and now.
