Beyond Bond's Bimbos
Beyond Bond's Bimbos
He's slept with them, he's cheated on them, he's killed them, he's even wed them. From film to film, Bond's love interest is always someone new, always someone attractive, but not always someone bright. The leading female role in a Bond film has evolved over the years, from screaming damsels to helpless airheads. From intelligent manipulators to assertive allies. From the spacy Tanya Roberts to the gutsy Michelle Yeoh.
007's women can be his biggest weaknesses or his greatest assets, depending on where the adventure takes him. It is truly a cinematic wonder that James is able to bed so many women in so many films without contracting a sexually transmitted disease, but Bond was never intended to be politically or morally correct. He's just Bond...James Bond. And it's safe to say that women will be at 007's side for a long time to come.
