Screw you! I googled her and she looks just fine for fifty-four.

I like description of her as a “skater who accidentally became an actress”.

Johnson was in one of the pilot movies for Micky Spillane’s Mike Hammer, “More Than Murder” (1984).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085961/

The memorable line went something like this:

Hammer: “You’re good.”
Sandy: “Oh, I’m better than good.”

Indeed. Bouquet rated as one of the top three Bond women, imo. The green eyes were killers!!

Stacy Keach did the best Mike Hammer, no two ways about it.

One might say that scene was more the way Connery would’ve done it. No more Mr. Nice Guy there for Rog. Too bad they couldn’t have had him do it this way instead for all those prior silly ‘70s entries.


But it took several Bond movies for Roger to live down his nice guy image gained as “The Saint”....:^)

Back when A&E ran the series back in the late 90s, I taped almost all of them. I'm missing 3 or 4. Wish they would put them out on DVD.

Topol was in this one as well to assist 007. I think he is also an excellent actor!

“For Your Eyes Only” is probably my favorites Bond flicks. No supervillians, just Bond against the Soviets, or their proxies. A great supporting cast, and some great quotable lines:

“How deep is the water?”
“Not. deep. enough!”

Bond: “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.”
Q: “That’s putting it mildly, 007!”

“you have what we Greeks call brassos, GUTS!

It was in the tradition of the Ian Fleming novels.

I read a couple of the novels back in high school, but that was a long time ago.

I don’t recall from which story, but in one of Fleming’s books he noted that Bond in his off-time was writing a book. Moore’s version of Bond never allowed me to believe he could even read a book, much less write one.

This was noted in “Obit” chapter (chapter 21) from “You Only Live Twice”.

Actually, as I noted in a previous posting, Octopussy had a good script but John Glen screwed it up.
