Bond girl: Vesper Lynd (1967)

Bond connection: Vesper is depicted as a former secret agent who has since become a multi-millionaire with a penchant for wearing ridiculously extravagant outfits at her office (“because if I wore it in the street people might stare”). Bond now in the position of M at MI6, uses a discount for her past due taxes to bribe her into becoming another 007 agent, and to recruit baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble into stopping Le Chiffre.

Vesper and Tremble have an affair during which she eliminates an enemy agent sent to seduce Tremble (“Miss Goodthighs“). Ultimately, however, she betrays Tremble to Le Chiffre and SMERSH, declaring to Tremble, “Never trust a rich spy” before killing him with a machine gun hidden inside a bagpipe. Though her ultimate fate is not revealed in the film, in the closing credits she is shown as an angel playing a harp, showing her to be one of the “seven James Bonds at Casino Royale” killed by an atomic explosion.
