Beauty Stars of the 90s: Where Did the Bond Girls You Forgot Go?

See how the actresses have changed.

The Polish-Swedish actress played a programmer at a Russian satellite station named Natalya Semyonova in Goldeneye (1995). At the same time, she tried herself as a singer in Sweden – her album even received the status of “gold”. The actress was married twice and has two children. In recent years, Skorupko rarely filmed himself.

Another charming beauty in the movie “Golden Eye” was the Dutch actress Famke Janssen, who played the former Soviet pilot and now a member of the crime syndicate Ksenia Onatopp. Famke is also well known to viewers for her role as Jean Gray in the X-Men film series. By the way, Janssen was unhappy with the role of the Bond girl – she said that she felt “thrown to the wolves” due to the increased attention of the press.

The role of Wei Lin in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) was one of the first major roles in the career of the Malaysian-born actress. Now Michelle is experiencing a real renaissance – in 2023 she received the first Oscar in her life and another prestigious award for the main female role in the film “Everything is everywhere at once.”

The actress played the wife of the main antagonist and former lover of Bond in the movie “Tomorrow Never Dies”, who is unfortunately killed. At the time, Hatcher had already made a fairly successful career in television, starring in series and TV movies in the 1980s. You could also see her in the series Desperate Housewives and Two and a Half Men.

In The World Is Not Enough (1999), the French actress played Elektra King, the daughter of a murdered businessman, with whom Bond embarks on a romantic adventure in the Caucasus mountains until he realizes that he is one with the villain. Filming in “Bondian” has long given Sophie star status. And she’s still at it – Marceau is known both as an actress and as a model who has been the face of major cosmetic brands.

Denise played the role of an atomic scientist to whom Bond resorts in The World Is Not Enough (1999). Unfortunately, in this picture, the actress seemed not very convincing to the critics. Richards won a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress. But this failure did not prevent the actress from shooting much further. In recent years, Richards did not offer interesting roles, but she did not lose courage – at the age of 51, she founded a channel on the erotic platform OnlyFans.
