Biography

This unnamed girl is seen making love to James Bond in a log cabin on top of the French Alps. As the two lie together on a fur rug, Bond receives a telex message via his watch ordering him to report back to MI6. 007 meets the girl’s protests with a casual “sorry darling; something came up.” As Bond pulls on his clothes, a group of four armed men approaches the cabin on skis. As soon as Bond leaves, she is revealed to be working with the KGB. Extracting a radio transmitter from a nearby handbag, she informs the group’s leader – KGB agent Sergei Barsov – that Bond has just left. Barsov acknowledges her message, leading to a chase sequence across the alps, which results in Barsov’s death. The girl is not seen again, and her fate is left unrevealed.
