The character of Honey Rider set the pattern for the Bond women, beautiful, capable and deadly

Rating:

The character of Honey Rider was superb, as she was a very capable and intelligent woman as well as extremely sexy. The Bond movies were extremely progressive in their portrayal of women; there was no shrieking, fainting or other emotional weaker sex nonsense. It all started with Honey Rider.

Great point. Seriously, I could get into a great series of online essays about characters in the Bond films. I'd love to read some in-depth character analysis on the Bond villains and femme fatales b/c I think Bond has his own deserving place in our modern mythology. Great observation, Charles, and I encourage you to do more.

Best Bond Girl of all

Ursula Andress sets the standard for all Bond girls. Her iconic entrance in Dr. No in the white bikini with the knife at her hip created an image that every school boy in 1962 will never forget.

Halle Berry paid homage to her in Die other Day, but failed to capture that same magic in my opinion. Jinx was no Honey Rider.

More then just a pretty face in a bikini for all of her scenes.

She was the first and many would say the best of the Bond Girls. She spends most of the film in her white bikini. Her entrance to the movie is her singing to herself while emerging from the ocean. Shes gorgeous. It's hard to deny Ursula Andress as being one of the perfect Bond girls. What else does she have going for her besides looks? Shes an autodidact having taught … more

What some call the measuring stick by all other Bond Girls. Stunning and shapely Swedish beauty. Tough and not unbeliveable.
