Though she was preceded onscreen by Sylvia Trench and Miss Taro, Honey Ryder, a Jamaican shell diver played by a dubbed Ursula Andress, is widely considered the first Bond girl.
Perhaps it’s because of her unforgettable entrance in Dr. No, emerging from the ocean in a white bikini and belt, bearing shells.
Her chemistry with Bond is one of the driving forces in Dr. No, the film that spawned one of the most successful and longest-running of all film franchises.
