Deep down, we’ve all secretly wanted to be a Bond girl. They’re glamorous and classy with just the right amount of danger. But just how have all the Bond girls throughout history aged over the years? We’ll take a look back at the most popular (and beautiful) ones and see what they’re up to today.
1. Eunice Gayson
Eunice was the very first bond girl starring in the first two movies, and with her striking cheekbones and raven hair, she was certainly memorable in her prime. She went on to appear in shows like “The Avengers” and “The Saint.” The Brit passed away in 2018 at the age of 90, but up until her passing, she still looked stunning.
2. Honor Blackman
Do blondes or brunettes have more fun? Blackman gave Gayson a run for her money with her bouncy blonde hair and a zillion-watt smile that was somehow sweet and mischievous all at the same time. Many agree that she was even more stunning than her co-star Sean Connery. Blackman passed in 2020 and was still a bombshell at the time of her passing. She continued acting in shows like The upper Hand and Coronation Street and recorded a full album after doing her time as a Bond girl.
3. Luciana Paluzzi
Starring in “Thunderball”, Paluzzi was an underrated but beloved Bond girl Fiona Volpe in the fourth James Bond film. Born in Italy, Paluzzi is now 85 years old and resides in Los Angeles. She recently paid tribute to her co-star Sean Connery and said she wasn’t attracted to him when they were filming, but only because he was a married man. Despite her age, the striking European still has her good looks with those beautiful eyes and wavy red mane.
4. Diana Rigg
Although she’s technically a Bond girl, this multi-talented actress has nay credits under her belt, including playing Emma Peel in “The Avengers” and famously Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones. She never slowed down throughout her career and she’s still walking red carpets to this day. Unfortunately, she passed away in September 2020 from cancer at the age of 82.
5. Lana Wood
Lana Wood is undeniably one of the most striking bond girls to ever be with her mesmerizing eyes and dark mane in “Diamonds Are Forever”, but she, unfortunately, hit on dark times after her time as a Bond girl. After experiencing a period of homelessness due to economic struggles, she made a comeback at the age of 76 in the indie movie “Dog Boy” as the character Vera Summers. She still has those hypnotic eyes and that piercing stare that make her as beautiful as she was in the 1970s.
6. Jill St. John
Jill stood out from the rest of the Bond girls with her unique looks, curly red hair and sassy personality. She was the first American Bond girl.. Known for dating some of the most high-profile guys in Hollywood, this ravishing beauty with a stunning figure was known for her suggestive one-liners as well as her feud with fellow Bond girl Lana Wood. She continued to star in many TV shows and movies, including The Calling and The Trip in 2002. At 81, she’s happily retired but still holds onto her classic good looks.
7. Jane Seymour
Somehow, Seymour never ages. In fact, we think she’s even more beautiful today than she was as a young Bond girl back in the day. She says that she feels the same as she did in her younger years, so maybe state of mind really is the key to the fountain of youth! In 2022, she defied age by reprising her original Somewhere in Time character role 42 years later, looking nearly identical. Today, she’s known as much for her acting skills as she is for her flawless looks.
8. Gloria Henry
Gloria Henry broke boundaries by starring as Bond’s first African American love interest in “Live and Let Die.” This Bond girl had serious goddess vibes, and at 71 today, she’s still a stunner with no wrinkles in site. In 2008, she wrote an autobiography called “Gloria: Bond and All” which told her life story and experiences as a Bond girl. She also studied to be a legal secretary and even pursued a law career after acting.
9. Maud Adams
A frequent Bond girl, Maud Adams appeared in three Bond girls. The Swedish actor first starred in “The Man With The Golden Gun” and nine years later was promoted to head Bond girl in “Octopussy.” Today, she’s 77 years old and lives in Beverly Hills with her dogs and hubby Charles Rubin, rocking her natural grey hair. She still has her slender figure and the gorgeous, feline-like face that she was known for.
10. Britt Ekland
Possibly the most beautiful Bond girl of all time, this angelic Bond girl had an allure like Brigitte Bardot, with a seductive pout and big, doe-like eyes. After her stint as a Bond girl, she starred in movies like The Wicker and Get Carter. She was also known for her rocky relationship with actor Peter Sellers, who was also a major reason she reached a high level of fame. The blond bombshell still has her sultry good looks today at age 79 and is living her best life as a single woman, describing herself as “self-partnered.”
