Don't know whether anyone's posted this from the Daily Mail, but it's quite interesting looking at how the Bond girls have aged since they first made their 007 appearance.

Being a Bond Girl can be a curse. For many, the handle 'former Bond girl' led to a series of insubstantial cameo roles or a date with the plastic surgeon.

That doesn’t stop actresses from clamouring for the role. In Skyfall, out later this year, French actress Berenice Marlohe takes the challenge opposite Daniel Craig. But whether she will live up to her sexy predecessors remains to be seen.

Here, in words and pictures, we reveal what became of them...

    I love to see some of those pictures, @bondsum! Jane Seymour definitely aged most gracefully. As for Teri Hatcher on the other hand :-O

    If Carey Lowell haven't played in LTK i think she stil can have played a Bond girl or Moneypenny. Carole Bouquet and Maryam d'Abo mabey.

    Karin Dor easy can be actres for in a Daniel Craig Bond movie. It happend with Diane Hartford who play's in TB (1 movie earlier then Karin Dor who play in Yolt), she also be in Casino Royale. Diane Hartford is seen as the asian gamble woman as Lechiefe his boat.

    Jane Seymour older chacter like Honor Blackman did for GF.

    Lana Wood as M.

    It's spelled 'Le Chiffre'.

    Also, your information is wrong, I'm afraid. The Asian gambler is played by Tsai Chin, who also starred in YOLT. (Incidentally, I don't think she's starring as Le Chiffre's boat. ;-) )

    Diane Hartford is indeed also in the film but here we're talking the poker game with Dimitrios.

    Seriously? Wood, though being born to Russian parents, was born and raised an American. It's a bit of a stretch to put an American actress in the role of M, wouldn't you agree? ;-)

    Licence to Kill: Like Timothy Dalton as 007, Carey Lowell, 51, was unmemorable on screen as Pam Bouvier. She went on to marry actor Richard Gere, her third husband

    That's it (grabs baseball bat) Who wrote this???

    I have to agree, Darth. Whatever Jane Seymour has in her DNA it should be bottled and sold as an elixir of life. Though Honor Blackman looks good for 86.

    But to be fair, didn't she have - uhm - certain people perform - uhm - certain - uhm - operations on her? ;-)

    And there was me thinking it was down to her thrice-weekly Pilates and Gyrotonic classes!! :-\"

    Although she has admitted to having “very small” breast implants after her twin boys were born, as well as a procedure to remove hereditary eye bags.

    I think that Carey Lowell was one of the better things about LTK, and Richard Gere is a lucky basterd. O:-)

    Great find. Some of the ladies have aged gracefully, some have not and some should sue their doctors for their horrible botox injections.

    I've gotta say, a large majority still look very attractive, especially for their ages. And let's be honest. Jane Seymour looks even sexier NOW. :\">

    Carey Lowell looks great!

    And Richard Gere not so much. To think he made women swoon a few decades ago.

    Remove the chainsaw and it would make Abu Gharib look like a spa on the Riviera.

    Top 5 Best Aged:

    1. Jayne Seymour
    2. Carey Lowell
    3. Caroline Munro
    4. Kristina Wayborn
    5. Caroline Bouquet

    Maryam, Diana and Karin are worthy of an honorable mention.

    Top 5 Oh My God!

    1. Lois Chiles
    2. Teri Hatcher
    3. Britt Ekland
    4. Lana Wood
    5. Ursula Andress

    Ursula's on this list only because a 76 year old woman really shouldn't be sporting her cleavage.

    Carole Bouquet may have aged very well, but she's been doing some awfull movies lately.

    IMO, he even outdid Depp in that film.
