The French Actress will star as Sévérine opposite Daniel Craig in "Skyfall," the new installment of the James Bond franchise due in theaters November 9. We're taking a look back at some of the most memorable Bond Girls of the past to see if they're still as hot as we remember. By Joanna Douglas, Shine Staff
Bérénice Marlohe will be the next Bond Girl, but will she compare to the sexy on-screen vixens of the past?
Ursula Andress, 76, was original Bond girl in 1962's "Dr. No." As Honey Ryder she memorably emerged from the Caribbean sea with a knife strapped to her swimsuit.
Andress went on to wed and divorce director John Derek, and later dated her famous co-stars Marlon Brando and James Dean. Her iconic bikini sold at auction in 2001 for around $56,000.
Diana Rigg, 73, played Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo aka Tracy Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's secret service." She's the only woman James Bond ever married, but she's killed on their wedding day in a drive-by-shooting.
Honor Blackman, 86, portrayed the unfortunately named character Pussy Galore in 1964's "Goldfinger." The character was based on Blanche Blackwell who was considered to be Bond creator Ian Fleming's greatest love.
Like Rigg, Blackman also got her start on "The Avengers" as Cathy Gale. She continues to act and also has a singing career.
Jane Seymore, 61, got her big break in 1973's "Live and Let Die." She was only 22 years old when she played Solitare, Tarot card reader and psychic whose abilities are lost when she loses her virginity to James Bond. Apparently he's that good.
Seymore has been married four times, has four children, and has a very successful career with memorable past roles in "Somewhere in Time" and "Dr, Quinn: Medicine Woman." She's written several books and also collected an Emmy, two Golden Globes, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Maud Adams, 67, was a supermodel and one of the most famous women of the 007 franchise. In 1974's "The Man with the Golden Gun" she played Andrea Anders, the mistress of the film's villian, Scaramanga. Adams was such a hit, they asked her back to play the title character in 1983's "Octopussy." Her character was a jewel smuggler and wealthy businesswoman.
Little known fact: Adams also was a visible extra in a third Bond film, 1985's "A View To a Kill."
Barbara Bach, 64, become an international sex symbol playing Russian spy Anya Amasova, Agent XXX, in 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Bach hasn't acted since the '80s but she did appear in Playboy several times. Don't worry though-she married Ringo Starr of the Beatles so we think she's doing alright.

Rigg may have been a famous Bond girl, but she is perhaps best known for her earlier portrayal of Emma Peel in British TV series "The Avengers."
