The girls were very pretty, and there was always at least one scene where they wore a nightgown. The nightgown looked sexier than it really was. You could never see through it, but it looked diaphanous.........link
Bookmark that one as a cheatsheet for Trooper York's "Whose That Girl" contests.

No, no, too many Bond alumnae and too many of them weren't that great-looking.
You want gorgeous?
Go back to the late 50s, the era of Hazel Court (who not only was superlative on top, but had one of the most sensational pairs of legs anywhere (this I noticed at the tender age of 9)).
Think Melissa Stribling in "Horror Of Dracula" or Eunice Gayson in "Revenge Of Frankenstein".
English pop TV and movies of the mid-50s to mid-60s had some of the most heart-stoppingly beautiful women in the world.
God knows, I was in love with several of them.
My literary hero, William Saroyan, wrote that the Brits put out the best tail in the world.
Edina... Awesome song too.

Tranny! Kate O'Mara tranny!
Not if she died of ovarian cancer.
Eunice Gayson was the very first Bond Girl.
Yes, and possibly the loveliest, but most were nothing to write home about.
Pussy Galore, of course,...
Diana Dors and Caroline Munro had careers. The rest have disappeared down the memory hole. I expect most of them married millionaires. That was probably their real career anyway.......Good looking women are even better looking when viewed through the eyes of a fifteen year old. Elongated canines are not a barrier to true love at that age.

FWIW, several did have careers working solely in Blighty, so their work is not known to most unless you're a Baby Boomer who liked Roger Moore's go as "The Saint" (probably his best work) on TV and all the British imports it spawned in the early and mid-60s.
As I suggested, names like Melissa Stribling are otherwise unknown in this country.
Diana Dors, who was Dick Dawson's wife, did have a career in American movies and TV, another of the large-chested platinum blondes imported from across the pond. Caroline Munro, whose name rings a faint bell, I somehow associate with Disney.
I looked up Diana Dors on Wiki. Her maiden name was Fluck. Her first husband was closer to a pimp than a manager. He used to lease her out to studio executives and he appropriated most of the money she earned. She herself was no angel. She used to host pay for entry sex parties. She wrote several autobiographies detailing her life, which certainly had more interesting details than the average life. She did manage to get beyond sordid and achieve decadence before she died. Like so many blonde sexpots she died young --in her early fifties. But the misdeeds and misfires of her life never achieved legendary status. I never heard of them until just now.
