Denise Richards Wins An Award
For quite possibly the first time in her life, Denise Richards has won an award for something other than being the biggest earner. Turns out Denise was named the winner of Entertainment Weekly's worst Bond girl award. Denise if you will recall played a Bond girl in the 1999 film The World Is Not Enough. Turns out the world wasn't big enough to hide the performance of Denise. I think the reason she won the award is that the role actually required her to memorize more than five lines, and if I recall she was supposed to be a rocket scientist. The guys on the casting couch must have been laughing with that one. "Sure baby. You have got the part. You are going to be a rocket scientist. Hell we will even make you a doctor. Dr. Christmas Jones. Now quit talking. I don't have anymore Viagra"
I know that if EW has a party commemorating the fact, Denise would probably still show up if she thought it could get her photograph in the magazine somehow.
Tanya Roberts (A View To A Kill)
and Corinne Clery (Moonraker) 
finished second and third respectively. I used to be a big fan of Tanya Roberts. I think every guy was. She was on television for us every night when we turned on Cinemax or Showtime late at night, and so guys knew who she was. Women really didn't know who Tanya was until she suddenly turned up on That 70's Show. Tanya basically played the same character she had been playing in all those soft porn films, except she didn't have to get naked in front of the camera. Right now I think Tanya is quite possibly the most annoying actress on the planet with all those Las Vegas radio commercials she does. "Can you say high roller treatment?" I got your high roller treatment here, and it doesn't involve spending 8 hours listening to some guy try and sell me a condo in return for spending time in that Motel 6 you call a luxury development. Oh, and about that show right on the Strip. Can you say they take you and stand you in front of the guy who takes pictures of tourists with his parrots and charges $20. After a couple of photos, they say, "that is one hell of a show huh? And right here in this alley off the Strip. Now, what do you say we look at those plans for your condo one more time, and get that bank account information and PIN from you."
Ursula Andress was voted the best Bond girl for her iconic portrayal of Honey Ryder in Dr No,
followed by Honor Blackman (Goldfinger)
and Diana Rigg (On Her Majesty's Secret Service).

I'm probably dating myself here, but I remember Tanya Roberts from Charlie's Angels (she joined the cast near the end of its run).
OT
I see Ent has disabled our images, which is probably due to lessuckno, which is fine. You gotta do what you gotta do.
What about the chick in From Russia With Love? She was pretty good.
And I knew Tanya Roberts from View to a Kill. I think many, many women of my age group would know her from that movie, given the band that did the title song.
Les is in love with Ent. Ent must not like dudes though, so Les is forced to proclaim his love in this format.
I remember when I watched that bond movie, one of the main things I still remember was how she seemed so innocent...
Boy was I wrong!!
my father's fave was ursula andress. i know its corny, but to this day he refers to her as "ursula undress".
i remember tanya roberts from charlie's angels and the "charlie" perfume ads before that. and yeah. same character every time.

Well at least the best girls catagory was done right.

She was in For Your Eyes Only and she indeed was a girl. But she wasn't an actual Bond girl as she just stood around a pool with a bunch of other girls.
