There’s a belief in Hollywood that being a Bond Girl is not a good thing, that you’re forever typecast as eye candy and will have trouble finding decent parts for the rest of your career. The evidence backing up this so-called curse is pretty strong, too: when was the last time you heard from Izabella Scorupco or Carole Bouquet? We hope for the best for Naomie Harris, who will play Eve in the upcoming Skyfall, but you never know. Below, we’ve put together a list of the most embarrassing post-James Bond film roles for 15 “main” Bond girls (by main, we mean that they’re not just in a single scene, then die, but rather, they’re Bond’s main companion in their respective film).
