For Your Eyes Only [James Bond Girls]

For Your Eyes Only

James Bond Adventure. A British spy-ship, the St. Georges, accidently hits a mine and sinks near a Warsaw Pact country. On aboard is ATAC, a communications device that could order Western subs to attack friendly areas. 007 is sent to recover the ATAC and the Russians, interested in getting ATAC, send a message to their local "contact". Bond's investigations leads to Greece and he meets Melina Havelock, out for revenge, as the "Contact" has had her parents murdered. Bond also meets Aristotle Kristatos and Milos Colombo (known as "The Dove") and evidence leads that one of them is the Russian's "Contact" but both accuses the other. Melina and Bond sets out to recover the ATAC and not only goes up against the "Contract" but also against Bibi, a young ice-skater, who has a major crush on 007...

Carole Bouquet

Plays Melina Havelock


This alluringly beautiful brunette made an arresting film debut sharing the title role of Luis Bunuel's "That Obscure Object of Desire" (1977) with Angela Molina.

Carole Bouquet had originally enrolled at the Sorbonne at age 15 with the intention of studying philosophy. She later transferred to the Paris Conservatory where she received her acting training. After the Bunuel film, Bouquet co-starred with Gerard Depardieu in Bertrand Blier's "Buffet froid/Cold Cuts" (1979). To American audiences, she is perhaps best remembered as Bond girl Melina Havelock opposite Roger Moore's 007 in "For Your Eyes Only" (1981)

Throughout the 1980s and 90s, Bouquet concentrated on feature work in her native France (in few films of note until Bertrand Blier's "Too Beautiful for You" (1989), which ironically cast her as an undesired, though extremely alluring, wife); the exception was a cameo role in the Francis Ford Coppola "Life Without Zoe" segment of the anthology film "New York Stories" (1989).

Her most celebrated role of the 90s was as the character 'Carole Bouquet' in Michel Blanc's "Dead Tired/Grosse fatigue" (1994; released in the US in 1995). In this comedy, she played the popular image of herself as a "Movie Star".

Bouquet is also known internationally as the model for Chanel Number 5 perfume.

Lynn-Holly Johnson

Plays Bibi Dahl

She refused to do a nude scene in Ice Castles (1978). The producers kept trying to write a nude scene in the movie for her, but she walked off the set and halted production for a day rather than appear nude. Ms. Johnson admitted in a recent interview in People magazine that it tickles her that after all these years, people come up to her and tell her how great a family movie this is, and she thinks, "you have no idea!"
