I'm OK with Sean Connery in general, but I never had any particular great shakes for him as James Bond. Sean, get a fucking speech therapist. The man talks like a baby with his lips out, Gerber baby food and spittle everywhere. Daffy fucking Duck.
Daniel Craig sold me 100%. He perfectly conveys the psychological profile Vesper lays on him during the ride. The poor kid who went through SAS.
(daveduke007 @ Feb. 28 2007,08:05) David Niven?
Good Actor yes , but Bond a no no
Best BOND is of course is , he was best with the one-liners too
I actually meant you, not David Niven, I wonder if James Bond ever shagged LB's / TS. He did have a TS on one of his films as some of the extra chix he always has around. "she" had them fooled for agers. Made the national papers in UK when the cat got out the bag, or the bishop got out the trousers. I think her name was Tula.

You pays your money & takes your chance. This isn't a rehearsal do it now, it's no good looking back when it's a lover & wishing.... ITS TOO LATE.
The Transexual Bond Girl
For Your Eyes Only was the twelfth James Bond movie and marked the fifth appearance of Roger Moore as secret agent 007. Like all Bond offerings, the non-stop action was sprinkled with bodacious babes, about one of whom questions subsequently surfaced.
Caroline Cossey, one of the "Bond girls" appearing in that film was a transexual, a man who had undergone a sex change. Ms. Cossey began life in 1954 as Barry Cossey but later decided to live as a woman. She changed her name to Caroline in 1972, began taking hormone tablets, had breast augmentation surgery, and in 1974 underwent the final sex reassignment surgery (SRS) to transform her into a woman. From about 1979 to 1986 Caroline worked as a fashion model and actress under the name Tula, and she caught a break in 1980 when she was cast in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. Shortly after the film's release in 1981, however, the UK tabloid News of the World "outed" her as a transsexual and disrupted her modeling and acting career.
Caroline's first attempt at marriage, to Count Glauco, an Italian national, was blocked in 1983 by legal complications (under English law she was still considered male). In 1989 she married Elias Fattal in London, but her husband left her shortly after the honeymoon and the marriage was annulled by the High Court (under a ruling that the bride and groom had not been female and male, respectively). Caroline told her story in the 1982 book, Tula: I Am a Woman and published an autobiography, My Story, in 1991; she has resumed her modelling career and is now married to David Finch, a Canadian.
But Caroline Cossey was a 'Bond girl' in only the most fleeting of ways: She appeared but briefly on screen in For Your Eyes Only, and film credits describe her as "girl at pool," a designation she shared with ten other actresses.
Rumors about the real transexual Bond girl have morphed over time, with later versions asserting the woman in question had been one of the primary love interests in For Your Eyes Only. (That role was filled by French actress Carole Bouquet, appearing as the vengeful daughter of the scientist the villain had done away with.) Though it makes for a more satisfying rumor to have Roger Moore recoiling in horror at having discovered he'd just performed a love scene with an actress who'd been born male, it just didn't happen.
