My sentiments exactly. I was rather more taken by her beauty when I was a kid, but her onscreen presence is a bit too vapid—or bland as you say—to really engage me these days. There is a kind of brittleness or fragility to Auger's performance that I find intriguing, but it’s something you have to look for.
As do I. While I'm able to appreciate how others view the film, I've never connected with FRWL on a personal level and consequently tend to rank it, I guess, shockingly low. But Tania and the scenes she appears in are the exception. I didn’t have Tania quite this high, but #3 is a very deserving place. She is one of the greats.
As for Tania, she’s a big favorite as well. She’s not a S tier Bond girl for me like Domino is, but not that far off. 👍
(Should be saving these great images for Bond Girl Fridays but whatever)
Unbeatable. The best characters in the Bond film series with the exception of James himself. Maybe even better than him. Of the two, Tracy’s the one for me.
Our silver medalist, representing France, is:
EVA GREEN
as Vesper Lynd
in CASINO ROYALE
Vesper claims an impressive second spot, receiving six gold medals, two silver medals and three bronze medals.
She also obtained two 4th places and one 5th place. Additionally seven more top 10's were collected.
Her worst placement was a single 22nd spot.
Vesper Lynd collected 195 points.
----
Which brings us to the top spot, our gold medalist, representing the UK:
DIANA RIGG
as Tracy di Vincenzo
in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
With eight gold medals, the most of any participant, seven silver medals, also the most of any participant, and three bronze medals, Tracy deservedly takes the top spot.
To complete her impressive run she also obtained one 4th, one 5th and four 6th places. That's 24 members who ranked her in their top 6.
In other words, only two members rated her lower than 6th: one 14th place and a fairly isolated 24th spot.
Tracy di Vincenzo is the only candidate that surpassed the 200-points mark, scoring a whopping 221 points.
Congrats to Tracy, forever Mrs. Bond
@GoldenGun , great choice of photos for Tracy!
That is impressive. A conclusive and deserved win as you say.
Thanks, @GoldenGun! Can't wait for the villains edition!
I also had Diana Rigg’s “Tracy” at number 1.
Now did my love for Diana’s turn as Emma Peel or Lady Olenna Tyrell bias my ranking? Probably. But “Tracy” clicks off so many boxes on my “Bond Girl” scorecard that it is difficult to know where to start. And of course, Ms. Rigg’s performance as Tracy is breathtakingly good. For me, she is the perfect blend of beauty, wit, intelligence and vulnerability. Which is also a good description for the actress herself.
I also had Eva Green’s Vesper at number 2 only because …. Well, you know “first love is true love.” Maybe if I were younger and saw CR first, she would have gotten my vote since I also think she embodies many of the same traits that I find appealing.
I wonder what these two lovely ladies were discussing back in 2014? 😊
Good show guys and girls =D>
You're not alone, @Birdleson
Me as well.
It's not really the actress' fault. It's Maibaum and Wilson's. She seems like a combination of Aki(YOLT) and Holly(MR) which would've been OK with me if she had been written more competently. However, her character's personality tends to fluctuate between being a supposedly tough CIA pilot one moment and a whiny, jealous high school girl the next. Just did not appeal to me.
@Dwayne Agreed. Ever seen Stella's performance in the Dean Martin/Matt Helm spoof The Silencers? Her Gail Hendrix and Jill's Tiffany Case seem cut from the same cloth. I enjoyed both of their performances.
Agreed. Holly is my favorite of the secret agent Bond heroines.
I will come up with a medal table somewhere during the weekend.
Maybe we can do the film scores next, if enough people are interested :)
Sure, why not? This is a fun exercise.
I'd absolutely love that, GG! Perhaps we can go double: scores and theme songs? Or do you prefer to do one at a time?
I'm in, the results could bring some suprises
villains
scores
theme songs
cars
gadgets
