Description
50 Years of James Bond 007Bond travels the globe but prefers his women to speak his language, as British and American
actresses portray the most characters
Flags represent the home country of the actress and the country of the character she portrayed
For some it is implied what country the character is actually from
Example Dr No Actress Ursula Andress is Swiss but by the voice over accent and
name we are to assume "Honey Rider" is American
We also assume Berenice Marlohe in Skyfall character is from Macau
the actress is French
Interesting Notes:
Most of the Bond films and Books take place during the Cold War but only 1 actress in the films
was actually from the USSR past/present and none were from China

With Goldfinger I wondered
"So what if he irradiates the gold it never leaves Fort Knox anyway"
Also since the gold in its original form was the size of grains of rice
just sweep it all up and remelt it

The Bond of the films had relatively few straight-on Cold War encounters with the Soviets, presumably by design. Even the plot of "From Russia With Love" was gratuitously altered so that the apparently Soviet villains were really working for SPECTRE -- in contrast to Fleming's novel. The most Cold Warlike films might include "Octopussy" (though the main villain was a renegade Soviet general), "For Your Eyes Only" (mainly non-Soviet reds as villains, if I recall), and "The Living Daylights."
I assume that the Chinese were supposed to be behind Goldfinger's plot to irradiate the U.S. gold supply (in the film) and had supplied him with the particularly dirty atomic "device" he intended to use for that purpose. But his minions tended to be (North?) Koreans -- those that weren't beautiful aviatrix types, anyway.
As far as villains of Russian nationality go, there seem to be more of them in American-produced films made AFTER the fall of the Soviet Union! Hmmm....
