Walking out from the water as if she were a sea goddess, Ursula is pure radiance, and it’s no wonder why this Bond girl role is so sensational.
To celebrate where it all began, the Bond franchise first started with Dr. No back in 1963, with Ursula Andress starring as the very first Bond girl, Honey Ryder.
It makes sense that she started the tradition of great actress taking these key roles, since she has possibly the most well-known entrance in Bond history.
It’s a shame that her character is practically one-note in terms of being a damsel-in-distress, but the Swiss actress still makes it shine, and it’s clear that many of the following Bond girls would hope to follow in her lead.
