Honor Blackman - Goldfinger (1964)
With the most memorable (and improbable) Bond girl name in the film series' history. She introduced herself to a tranquilized Bond (Connery) who awakened on Goldfinger's jet: "My name is Pussy Galore." Bond replied: "I must be dreaming." He also told her: "You're a woman of many parts, Pussy!" She was a pilot for villain Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) intent on spraying deadly Delta-9 nerve gas over Fort Knox to ultimately destabilize the western economy - she was one of a team of all-female pilots, Pussy Galore's Flying Circus, possibly lesbian-leaning. She often took a stance with her hands on hips, and as she held a gun on Bond, said: "Do you want to play it easy, or the hard way?" She wrestled with Bond in the hay in a horse stable, something that convinced her of the appeal of heterosexuality as he lowered himself down on her and kissed her. By film's end after helping Bond (by switching the gas canisters), she was kissing him under a parachute after the demise of Goldfinger.
