4 — Doctor Madeleine Swann

The Daniel Craig era has the most continuity of any Bond era. As such, it is not surprising that in the Bond era we get the first Bond Girl who appears as a Bond Girl in two movies. Dr. Swann, played by Lea Seydoux, appears in both Spectre  and No Time to Die, and ends up being a very important person in Bond’s life.

Madeleine Swann is a good name. However, and crucially, she’s Doctor Madeleine Swann. While some Bond girls are just attractive ladies getting dragged around on Bond’s adventures, Dr. Swann is something more. A significant love interest, yes, but also a substantive character.
