Bond Girls - What happened and where are they now ?

It's been an amazing century of breath taking Bond movies. I always remember watching Bond movies as a child in the early 80'. Yet the best movie for me is Gold-finger with Sean Connery driving around with a flashy car in Switzerland. But I was always wondering what happened to the numerous Bond Girls in countless Bond movies. Most of them started a great acting career but when silent after Bond movie. Although many were talented, one or two movies was the maximum they're acting throughout their entire career. What attracted these Bond girls to be part of a Bond movie ? Well, my name is Bond, James Bond! what can be more attractive then that ?

This blog will not be covering all Bond girls but at least the most classic ones. There will be countless more Bond girls to add in future.
