Teresa was a tragic, daring, suicidal, lovelorn, headstrong Mafia heiress; however, she had skillful driving, skiing, and fighting abilities, but also a penchant for drinking and gambling foolishly. She was the adventurous, independent-spirited, pretty daughter of Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti), who was assisting Bond (Lazenby) against the villainous SPECTRE head Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), who was scheming to blackmail the world with the threat of massive destruction. She first met Bond on a deserted Portugal coast beach, when he rescued her from committing suicide by walking into the ocean. She assisted Bond in escaping from Blofeld in Switzerland. In the shocking and tearjerking ending of this film, the British secret service 007 agent senselessly lost his newlywed wife Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo or Tracy Bond - the only Bond girl to every marry Bond - only moments after their Portugal wedding when villainous attempted to kill Bond -- Blofeld's henchwoman Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) strafed their honeymoon Aston Martin car from his black Mercedes 600 sedan with MP-40 submachine gun fire in a drive-by shooting and then drove away, as Louis Armstrong's mournful and ironic rendition of "We Have All the Time In the World" played. She was hit in the forehead by a bullet through the windshield and instantly killed, shortly after their wedding.
