**The Bond Girls** – _Movies featuring women who also had major roles in a Bond film_

1. Four for Texas – Ursula Andress (Honey Ryder in **Dr. No** )
2. Everything Everywhere All At Once - Michelle Yeoh (Wai Lin in **Tomorrow Never Dies** )
3. The Faculty - Famke Janssen (Xenia Onatopp in **GoldenEye** )
4. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - Judy Dench (M in several recent films)
5. Their Finest - Jemma Arterton (Strawberry Fields in **Quantum of Solace** )
6. Monster’s Ball - Halle Berry (Jinx in **Die Another Day** )
7. Come Blow Your Horn - Jill St. John (Tiffany Case in _Diamonds Are Forever_ )

Probably best known for her Bond role, however.
