Domino was the love-starved mistress of "guardian" SPECTRE Number 2 villain Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), who was intent on stealing nuclear warheads and blackmailing NATO. She was also the sister of Major Francois Derval (Paul Stassino), unwittingly used in SPECTRE's scheme. She first met Bond (Connery) during a diving trip at Nassau in the Bahamas, when she was caught on some coral and Bond extricated her. She had a birthmark on her left thigh. She began to trust him after he convinced her that Largo had killed her brother, a NATO bomber pilot. When they met, Bond knew her nickname and she inquired how: "How do you know my friends call me Domino?" Bond: "It's on the bracelet on your ankle." Domino: "So... what sharp little eyes you've got." Bond: "Wait 'til you get to my teeth." In the end, she was the one who killed Largo (Domino: "I'm glad I killed him" Bond (relieved): "You're glad?") with a harpoon, and was left with Bond in a life raft by the film's closing awaiting rescue. [Trivia note: In one of her earlier roles, Kim Basinger also played Domino in the unofficial remake Never Say Never Again (1983).]
