Totally agreed.
JANE SEYMOUR
as Solitaire
in LIVE AND LET DIE
The third Rog co-star in a row here and also the highest ranked of the Moore years, receiving one gold medal, two silvers and one bronze.
Three 5th places were also collected together with six more top 10 finishes. Four of those were a 9th spot.
It's also worth noting that not a single member of our distinguished Academy put her outside the top 20. Ergo, no bottom 5's for Solitaire. Her worst rating was indeed 20th, given to her by two members.
In total, Solitaire collected 172 points.
I had Solitaire at 13. She's a lovely character and I like her a lot, bit I guess Tom ran out of things for her to say or do at some point, because she sort of disappears a bit toward the end.
This is where I put her as well.
CAREY LOWELL
as Pam Bouvier
in LICENCE TO KILL
Pam proves to be Tim's most popular Bond girl, collecting one gold medal, three silvers and two bronzes.
Additionally she finished 4th twice and received five more top 10's, three of those were 10th spots.
At the other end, two bottom 5's were noted: one 22nd and one 23rd place.
Pam Bouvier received 164 points in total.
Sorry for the slip-up, folks. Pam ended up 8th, while Solitaire finished 7th.
Oh well, great showing for Pam. She's my number 3. I love how she does the "Bond's equal" badass thing without them playing it up with corny oneupsmanship.
Ah well. [-(
Pam is a surprise to be honest. I like her, but I never would have expected her to surpass both of the Pussies, Kara, Solitaire, ...
While not one of my favorite Bond Girls, the character of “Solitaire” is certainly among the more famous and Jane Seymour does a good job in the role. And it certainly doesn’t hurt, that Ms. Seymour has maintained a high profile in the decades since LALD.
What I find surprising is the ranking of Pam Bouvier. Clearly, the Carey Lowell fan club hacked into the voting machines 😊. While, she gets “bonus” points from me as a fellow New Yorker, I’ve always thought that she was better in the “Law & Order” TV series.
@GoldenGun made a mistake and Solitaire is actually ahead by 1 spot. ;)

Technically it was a three-way tie, so if you don't count the toss-ups, she ended up in a shared 9th spot :)
The remaining six are the obvious choices, I believe (or is Natalya a great surprise?). The winner will probably be no surprise but it is exciting to see the next reveals.
IZABELLA SCORUPCO
as Natalya Simonova
in GOLDENEYE
When it comes to the Pierce era, the GE entry is usually by far the best-liked. Natalya is no different. She collected one gold medal, two silvers and one bronze.
She also received five more top 5's and ten more top 10's. With only two bottom 5's, of which one 25th place was the lowest, she clearly has more friends than enemies amongst our Academy members.
In total Natalya Simonova managed to collect 175 points.
:O I would not have used that to describe her performance, I suppose in the mid 90's she is a different 'type" of Bond girl but following TLD and LTK's ladies she is pretty great! #7 in my books. Lovely all around.
Agreed - agreed - agreed. :-)
Sad to not see her in the top five, but I know competition is pretty strong from here on out.
But overall Natalya is really lovely and charming and fun. Definitely a high point of that film.
Edited to add that perhaps I should concede that that's simply how the character and script were written, and some of us find faults where others don't or they easily overlook them. I haven't seen Izabella in any other performances. Interesting how some of our opinions can vary so widely. Casting may have something to do with this too.
