James Bond prefers brunettes, research says
Gentlemen may prefer blondes but Britain's most sophisticated secret service agent tends to go for brunettes, according to an extensive investigation into James Bond's love life.

Academics who set out to discover what makes the ideal Bond girl found that apart from having long dark hair, she is likely to have an American accent – and to carry a weapon.
The unexpected findings were reached by a team who assessed the physical traits of all 195 female characters in the first 20 Bond movies, then contrasted the characteristics of the 98 who had "sexual contact" with Bond with those of the 97 who did not.
Their research, published in the journal Sex Roles, examines how Bond girls have changed over the years as well as exploring what kind of women end up in the spy's arms.
Unsurprisingly, Bond's sexual partners also tend to be younger, slimmer and more attractive than the women he does not bed – and they are less likely to wear glasses.
Those who fit the ideal type include Lois Chiles as Dr Holly Goodhead in Moonraker (1979) and Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever (1971).

Not bad, old sport(said in best Connery voice)
IIRC there have been 24 bond films.
well, the study only looked at the first 20. It didn’t include the Craig films, or the Connery one from 83 when he came back.
Or the first Casino Royale
We got a healthy nine percent. Since we are about 1% of the population, we are actually over-represented in the films! (Wonder how many were natural, though?)
Speaking for myself, I observe Koreans are rarely blond. And when they are, my genes instruct me to avoid a probable health issue (although, those same genes would probably be asleep at the job if the matter ever actually came up).
Me too.
She have a sister?
