Introduction
True beauties at any age... although some of the "now" pics aren't the best.
1
Ursula Andress
As Honey Ryder in Dr. No, 1962

2
Daniela Bianchi
As Tatiana Romanova in From Russia With Love, 1963

3
Honor Blackman
As Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964). You gotta wonder if it's hard for reporters to ask the now-grandmotherly Honor Blackman if she liked being Pussy Galore.

4
Luciana Paluzzi
As Fiona Volpe in Thunderball (1965)

5
Diana Rigg
As Tracy DiVincenzo, aka Mrs. James Bond, in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).

6
Jill St. John
As Tiffany Case in Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

7
Jane Seymour
As Solitaire in Live and Let Die (1973), the first Bond film with Roger Moore.

8
Britt Ekland
As Mary Goodnight in The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)

9
Barbara Bach
aka Mrs. Ringo Starr, as Maj. Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

10
Lois Chiles
As Dr. Holly Goodhead in Moonraker (1979). Bless her heart.

11
Carole Bouquet
As Melina Havelock in For Your Eyes Only (1981)

12
Maud Adams
As Octopussy in Octopussy (1983). Maud also appeared in 1974's The Man With The Golden Gun, and is the only actress to appear as a "Bond girl" in more than one film.

13
Kim Basinger
As Domino in Never Say Never Again (1983). Sean Connery returned to appear in this "rogue" Bond film and Thunderball remake, which wasn't produced by Albert Broccoli, who made the other Bond films, but Kevin McClory, who owned the rights to the Thunderball story.

14
Tanya Roberts
As Stacy Sutton in A View To A Kill (1985), generally regarded as the worst of all Bond films, although I think some of the Pierce Brosnan ones are as bad or worse.

15
Maryam D'Abo
As Kara Milovy in The Living Daylights (1987), the first film with Timothy Dalton as James Bond.

16
Carey Lowell
As Pam Bouvier in Licence To Kill (1989).

17
Talisa Soto
aka Mrs. Benjamin Bratt, as Lupe Lamora in Licence To Kill (1989)

18
Famke Janssen
As Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye (1995)

19
Izabella Scorupco
As Natalia Simonova in GoldenEye (1995)

Great list! And a lot of work. Well done. Surprisingly, several of these women look better now; 15, 17, and 19. And of course Jane Seymour is a freak of nature. She is close to 60!

Thx, OH. Some of these came from ABC.com. They did a list of about 10, and left off some of my favorites (Bianchi, Scorupco, Talisa Soto, other lesser-knowns) so I made those myself. They picked really awful shots for Ursula and Lois Chiles; I should have changed them.
You're right about Jane, and if she's had plastic surgery, I can't tell.. unlike Jill St. John, who looks kinda freaky. I'd rather see true beauty and some wrinkles (Barbara, Britt, Honor, Maryam) than a face from a can.
My favorite was always Daniela Bianchi from my favorite Bond flick, From Russia With Love.
