James Bond: The Biggest Ladies Man of Them All
Sustaining a relationship seems to be the one thing 007 cannot do. The dazzling beauties come and go: Halle Berry, Jill St. John, Ursula Andress, Kim Basinger and so on. Whenever he has even considered committing, no matter who is playing him (six actors) it doesn't end well. In On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) George Lazenby's Bond actually gets married to Contessa Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg), but she's shot soon thereafter and dies in his arms. In Daniel Craig's first turn as Bond, Casino Royale (2006) he's crazy about Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) but she also dies right before his eyes (and as she's a double agent, it's probably for the best). Bond 23 is slated to open in 2012, so the Bond Girl will live to die another day.
