    I like the dilemma that these categories tend to create. I think what you say about Solitaire is true. She's just lets James pull her from place to place. I am still unsure whether she is helping Bond when she attempts to slap him at the airport.

    But I would gently remind you that it's the acting we are to consider. Not the way the character is written. That might help you to come up with a full vote :) We could allow history and provide both nominees with a .5 vote! ;)

    Yes the slap at the airport is a really confusing moment! :)

    Solitaire's swing of the handbag is clearly a ploy to try and help them escape, nothing more to it than that.

    Just thinking out loud... Rosamund Pike is missing from this category.

    It´s very typical of the Hamilton/Mankiewicz films that they would carelessly add oddities to the plot like that. It would be so easy to rectify, they just couldn´t give a rats ass whether the film made sense or not.

    Yeah it just needs one line to clarify if she meant it or not, even if it's in a later scene, but it's juts not there! :) Maybe it got trimmed out.

    Good point! I could say this was for the female ally newcomer? LOL!

    Ehh. I will say that she's kinda sorta one of the better things in dumpster fire that is DAD.

    She’s very good in it, and she did actually get a proper career afterwards too.

    My apologies. I tend to look a lot into it a little deeper.

    By going the pure acting route, aside from Marlohe, they are meant to do much more than add beauty and sex appeal and there isn't a lot to do acting-wise, particularly Bianchi, Auger and Seymour. I think of Bianchi uttering "I love you, I love you, I love you" or Seymour's simpering in so many scenes.

    Wow this is getting interesting! Every nominee has received votes except for Caterina :(

    We have a tie! So it's now sudden death...all votes are reset, so you can recast your vote. But you can only vote for either of the actresses that are tied. Our tie is between:

    Daniela Bianchi with 9 votes and Jane Seymour with 9 votes!

    Okay dear academy members...who is the best actress newcomer in an ally role! Jane or Daniela?

    Really? I thought Auger was up there too. That's a letdown. To my mind Bianchi is the better actress of the two proposed.

    I agree with you @CommanderRoss she ended up with 6.5 votes and was close to the leaders. I still hold her high in my rankings.

    Without going back and re-watching FRWL and LAD – and holding the impact of any pro-production dubbing harmless – I’ll give the node to Daniela Bianchi.

    I think she gives a somewhat better “non-verbal” performance. And, of course, the visuals of her and Bond’s first encounter, and of her on the train are iconic – playful and sexy all at once.

    Bianchi

    Auger is a terrible actress, in many scenes as blank-faced as Bach.

    Daniela Bianchi. I love her playfulness in many of the scenes (the train, the boat).

    I agree. I sure understand why people find her visually appealing, but when people pretend her acting performance is great I can't help raising my eyebrows Moore-esque style...
