The Iconic Bond Girls Then and Now

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) boasted two Swedish stars, including Britt Ekland, who shined as James Bond’s charming assistant, Mary Goodnight. Prior to her Bond role, Ekland had already made a name for herself in film, gaining fame for her beauty and acting talent.

Her portrayal of the bubbly yet resourceful Goodnight added a lighthearted dimension to the movie. Ekland’s career extended well beyond her Bond appearance, with roles in notable films and TV projects throughout the 1970s and 1980s, continuing into the 1990s, making her a lasting figure in the Bond franchise and international cinema.
