How These 30 Bond Girls Look Today Is Incredible

18. Lois Chiles

Lois Chiles grew up in Houston, Texas and while attending the University of Texas at Austin, she was scouted by a modelling agent who lead her to a very successful career in the 1970s. The attention she received from modelling translated into film roles. She landed parts in The Great Gatsby and The Way We Were, both alongside Robert Redford and also in Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile. These films helped Chiles gain a role in the 1979 Bond movie Moonraker, where she played NASA astronaut Dr. Holly Goodhead (don’t laugh). The 68-year-old once joked: “being a Bond girl is a fun way to be remembered” although she noted that being asked to sigh “Oh, James” is annoying as “you can’t live up to people’s fantasies.”
