Best Connery Bond girl

try again.

Pushay for me. The original Bond's Equal (tm), Strong Independent Woman Who Don't Need No Man.

Though Plenty had the best jugs.

This is also tough. I'll have to have a think which one edges out because most of them are great.

I love them all but for me it's unquestionably Domino.
She has a character arc, she has sprit and grit, she is relatable and one cares for her character because of it. Of course it's only an ounce of Fleming's version because the film doesn't contain her backstory but the elements are there.
It also helps that Miss Auger was one of the most gorgeous women period and got to wear incredible wardrobe-in particular that iconic black and white alternating bikini.

But I could make the case for any of the above listed if I'm honest.

Miss Case for me shows some level of intelligence in the first quarter and then turns into a total airhead....both facets i find endearing...plus she has great knockers!

I ended up going for Tanya. A Bond girl in the purest sense - gorgeous and knowledgeable, with a sense of adventure, adaptability, vulnerability and enigma. The perfect companion/love interest.

Honourable mention to Pussy Galore.

It's true, Domino might be the first Bond girl with an arc, paving the way for the likes of Tracy, Anya, Melina, Stacey, Kara, Natalya, Elektra and Camille and Severine.

Pussy/Tiff.

Alright, they're not on par perhaps but Pussy is a character played by a capable actress. She has an element of maturity too even if her persuasions are all too settled by Bond. Ahem. However, she's a strong character and has great interaction Goldfinger as well as Bond.

As for Tiff, she's ballsy, she's in theory smart but prone to blonde moments. I think she is almost Bond's equal in that she's a diamond smuggler not a secret agent but what the hell. Redhead's usually help.

Can't disagree with choosing Pussy.

As for Tiff, I think St John is a hugely underrated actress, and her strength is obviously playing the Tiffany from the first 2 thirds of the DAF. I love her introductory scene, the scene at the circus and the gas station scene.

Had she played Fleming's Tiffany, she could very well be the very best.

Went for Honey, Tatiana, and Pussy (f'narr f'narr).

Hilly mate ... small point, but it appears you were thinking of a more recent actress in the franchise when you included Sylvia. Hehehe.

Oh fuckery...

Thanks Blunty...Mind was elsewhere clearly.

Of all the women, Miss Galore stands out the most for me as a personality.

Domino for me, though Tatiana is a close second.

I almost chose Tiffany as well, since she was my first exposure (alright, alright...), but Domino edged her out by not turning into a cloth-eared bint in the final reel.

Maibaum's favorite was Bianchi as Tatiana because she had a particular spunkiness mixed with an aloofness that he found endearing and just right for the character. He's right about that absolutely though it cracked me up that the quote in SKOH had him elaborate that her not really being into acting drove Young nuts on set....

In the top moments of Bond angels on screen there must be made special mention of the FRWL hair moustache gag.

I'd forgotten about that SKOH quote. There's quite an effortless quality to Bianchi's performance, including that moustache gag, that is very watchable. Maybe it's that aloofness that makes her seem present.

I voted for Aki, but Honey and Jill are also up there.
