2 "Lettuce" Bond Girls

I'm not a guy, so I can analyze this topic logically. Bond girls are legendary. The key to casting a good one is to catch her at just the right time in her career. She must have made an initial appearance on the big screen, but she can't be too well-known. Attention to the initial appearance is fine, but she must still have an element of mystique.

On that note, I need to vent about the two worst casting mishaps in all of Bond Girl Christendom, and they both happened during Pierce's reign. Teri Hatcher and Denise Richards. Owl eyes and neanderthal foreheads aren't sought after features for a Bond Girl.

I will give props, though, to Sophie Marceau. Excellent choice at the right time.
I can say with certainty that Catherine Zeta-Jones would have been a great choice, perhaps one of the best Bond Girls ever if she had been cast between Mask of Zorro and Entrapment. Now it's too late.

But back to Teri Hatcher and the other one-- they weren't real, and they weren't spectacular.
