How The Best Bond Girls Of All Times Look Like Now Will Surprise You
Dominique “Domino” Derval – Thunderball (1965)
While Fiona Volpe is the femme fatale of Thunderball, Dominique Derval, aka Domino, was the main Bond girl. As a female character acting almost as a trophy wife for the antagonist Emilio Largo, the casting team got it right by bringing in Miss France Monde 1958 Claudine Auger.
She pulled off the posturing of the early parts of the role with style and aplomb while also landing the acting bits beautifully. This is no doubt thanks to her formal training at the drama school Conservatoire de Paris, and also other film roles like the Testament of Orpheus and Triple Cross. Auger passed away in 2019 at the age of 78.
