Halle Berry as Jinx in Die Another Day (2002) Bond women arent usually appreciated for their acting assets, but Halle Berry brings something to the role that no other Bond girl ever has Oscar, acting Oscar. Like Michelle Yeoh in Tomorrow Never Dies, Jinx is Bonds equal. Bond first glimpses Jinx, who is an agent for the NSA, emerging from the ocean, skimpy bathing suit and all. Its an obvious homage to Ursula Andress in Dr.No that works. To whatever effect, Berry rises above what may be one of the worst Bond films ever made. Cmon, it has an invisible car. Fortunately, Berry is anything but invisible.
MGM Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye (1995) Perhaps her name should have been Xenia Overdatopp? What else can one say about a woman who gets aroused by murder, especially squeezing men to death between her vice-like thighs? Still, given Bonds skill at seduction, driving a wedge in Xenias evil plan requires great care. They first meet on a mountain road with dueling cars, then in a casino with dueling wit, then in a sauna, with dueling libido. If anyone could get the best of James, its Xenia. With her, his manhood is at stake in more ways than one.

I'd go for Lana Wood - Plenty (*work redacted*).
She wasn't a Bond girl, she a archvillian.
Bastard!
And it was such a nice thread.
Forgot about Sophie... but she was a 'bad' Bond girl. One of my favorites though....
I'd take Rosamund Pike over Halle Berry. Images??

bump for later...
However, you do get bonus points if you can tell us the connection between her and both Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin (it's the same thing).
Hint, it's a song.
Oh, just to be fair, when she was younger she was not totally painful to look at, in a beatnik art house kind of way
I liked Anna Kournikova in...
Oh wait, nevermind.
BEST BOND GIRL ?
Ursula Andres without a doubt.
Halle Berry was simply imitating her "Venus coming out from the sea" routine.
Mack the Knife...
