Miss Moneypenny - James Bond Characters Alive Summary While Miss Moneypenny isn't strictly a Bond girl , she is one of the most iconic characters within the James Bond series. Moneypenny works at MI6 as M's secretary, and throughout most of the films demonstrates an infatuation with James Bond. The Many Faces of Miss Moneypenny Moneypenny's first appearance in the James Bond universe is in the original book, Casino Royale. She has appeared throughout Ian Fleming's novels, although in a smaller role than in the movies, but the theme remains the same: Moneypenny is infatuated with Bond but never does anything to act upon her infatuation. Many people have been credited for being Ian Fleming's inspiration for the Moneypenny character. In Fleming's first draft Moneypenny was originally named Miss "Petty" Pettaval, who was a secretary to real-world MI6 Director, Stewart Menzies. The name was later changed to be less obvious. The character has also been rumored to be based upon Vera Atkins who was a secretary to "legendary spy master" Maurice Buckman who was Fleming's inspiration for M, among others.

Throughout the films, upon Bond's arrival at M's office, he flirts with Miss Moneypenny. In the earlier movies these flirtatious moments included Bond kissing and caressing Moneypenny sensually, but in more recent films the flirtation is more lighthearted and marked by an exchange of witty banter and sexual innuendos. What doesn't change across most of the films is Moneypenny's devotion to Bond despite their relationship never being anything more than professional. Because of their professional, but flirty relationship, Moneypenny is often considered an anchor that adds a bit of additional realism to the Bond films. To date, Moneypenny has been portrayed by six actresses across twenty one Bond films. Fourteen times by Lois Maxwell, twice by Caroline Bliss, four times by Samantha Bond and once each by Barbara Bouchet, Pamela Salem and Naomie Harris. Lois Maxwell Lois Maxwell portrayed Miss Moneypenny more times than any actor portrayed Bond, appearing alongside Sean Connery, George Lazenby, and then Roger Moore. Maxwell appeared in fourteen Bond films between 1962 and 1985. Terence Young, who directed the first Bond film (Dr.

No) originally turned her down for the role based on his opinion that she "looked like she smelled of soap." Maxwell fought to be cast for the role, as her husband was recovering from a heart attack at the time and she needed the money. Her role in the first film only paid £200 and Maxwell was required to provide her own clothes. Maxwell was nearly recast in 1967 after appearing in a spy spoof film alongside Sean Connery's brother Neil (aptly titled Operation Kid Brother) and then again in 1971 after demanding a pay raise. She managed to hold on to the role for several years afterwards, though. She remained in the role of Miss Moneypenny until Roger Moore's final appearance as Bond in 1985's A View to Kill. She continued using the name of her character for years after leaving the film series. Right up until 1994, Maxwell wrote a column about her on set experiences for a Canadian newspaper under the character's name.

Caroline Bliss Appearing in two Bond films, The Living Daylights and License to Kill, Bliss portrayed the role of Miss Moneypenny alongside Timothy Dalton between 1987 and 1989. Over 30 years younger than Lois Maxwell, Bliss was only 26 when cast for the role. The role was recast to bring in a younger actress, allowing the films to maintain the realism of the flirty relationship with a younger Bond. In an attempt to distance herself from the iconic-at-the-time portrayal of Moneypenny by Lois Maxwell, Bliss opted to have her version of Moneypenny wear glasses. Shamefully enough, due to script limitations the flirty relationship was actually quite limited in these two films, with Bond typically ignoring Moneypenny's flirtations. Samantha Bond Following the trend of "One Moneypenny per Bond" that began in the Dalton era, Samantha Bond played the role alongside Pierce Brosnan throughout his four film run from 1995 to 2002. Samantha Bond was actually childhood friends with previous Moneypenny, Caroline Bliss.

When asked in an interview about being replaced by a friend of hers, Bliss responded, "I am just glad it has gone to someone I love and who needs the money!" Often credited with being the first Moneypenny to have kissed James Bond, it is usually implied that it is the first time the two characters had shared a kiss, which is incorrect. It is actually just the first time where the character initiated a kiss with James. But that itself isn't even entirely true either, as the kiss was within a virtual reality device created by Q, and was basically just a "dream sequence." It is likely, though, that she is the first Moneypenny to jokingly accuse James Bond of sexual harassment. In an interview, Samantha Bond has stated "Even if you rolled all four films into one, it's still the smallest part I've ever played. It's the character that's iconic rather than anything I did with it." when asked what she thinks of being called Miss Moneypenny years after her last appearance in the role. Barbara Bouchet Barbara Bouchet is the only Moneypenny to not really be Moneypenny.

More specifically, in the first iteration of the film Casino Royale (1967) Bouchet plays Miss Moneypenny's daughter. The first Casino Royale is the first of two Bond films to be made by a different production company, and doesn't necessarily follow the same format of the core series. In fact, the earlier version of Casino Royale was made to be a satirical spin-off of the Bond series due to the producers belief that they couldn't compete with the core production team. The explanation provided within the film of Bouchet playing Miss Moneypenny's daughter is a little bit unnecessary - throughout the rest of the film she is referred to only as Moneypenny. Pamela Salem The second of two actresses to play the role in the unofficial Bond films, Salem portrayed Moneypenny in 1983's Never Say Never Again. She is the only actress to play the role alongside Sean Connery, other than the original Moneypenny, Lois Maxwell. Naomie Harris The newest Moneypenny and an entirely brand new take on the character. Following the reboot of the series in 2006, the Moneypenny character had yet to appear in a Bond film alongside Daniel Craig.

With 2012's Skyfall, Moneypenny is back with a more complete backstory and even a first name. As a field agent who considers herself Bond's equal, Moneypenny makes some mistakes. Throughout the course of the movie she becomes M's secretary, putting her in the place of the Moneypenny we know and love. There is also debate among critics as to whether or not Harris portrays the first Moneypenny to have slept with James Bond, but it is never suggested directly in the films that she has. Throughout Skyfall's development, it was kept secret that Naomie Harris was portrayed the Moneypenny role. Throughout the movie she goes by her first name only and it is later revealed that her last name is Moneypenny. While it's too early to tell how this most recent iteration of the Moneypenny character will compare to the previous versions, it's reassuring to see the new films returning to the roots of the series and bringing back such iconic characters.

James Bond's Miss Moneypenny dies, aged 80 - Telegraph James Bond's Miss Moneypenny dies, aged 80 Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny with Sean Connery in the first James Bond film By Nick Squires in Sydney 12:01AM BST 01 Oct 2007 She was the secret service secretary who was perpetually smitten by the world's best-known spy. Obituary: Lois Maxwell Lois Maxwell, the actress who played Miss Moneypenny in 14 Bond films, has died in Australia. She was 80. Canadian-born Maxwell, whose sexually-charged banter with 007 was a hallmark of the franchise, died in Fremantle Hospital in Western Australia late on Saturday. She had been suffering from cancer. She starred alongside Sean Connery in the first Bond film, Dr No, in 1962 and continued in the role of secretary to secret service chief 'M' until 1985, appearing with Roger Moore in A View To A Kill. Ian Fleming is thought to have based the character on women he worked with in Naval Intelligence during the Second World War.

Maxwell appeared in more 007 films than either Connery or Moore - only Desmond Llewelyn, as gadget supremo 'Q', starred in more Bond movies. Related Articles Lois Maxwell 01 Oct 2007 Asked to nominate her favourite Bond film during an interview with Australian radio in 2005, she chose On Her Majesty's Secret Service - the only Bond movie in which Australian George Lazenby played 007. She was asked what he was like to work with. After a brief pause she laughed and replied: "Naughty". She was a long-time friend of Moore and thought Connery's Bond was "marvellous". "She was a very fine actress and had a great sense of humour," Moore said yesterday. "It was a great disappointment to her that she had not been promoted to play M [the character most recently played by Dame Judi Dench]. She would have been a wonderful M." After a health scare in 2001, she settled in Australia with her son and his family in Perth. One of her last public appearances was as the guest of honour at a James Bond-themed journalists' ball in Perth.

"She was a sensation," David Cohen, the president of the Western Australian Journalists' Association, told The Daily Telegraph yesterday. "She was 79 then but she was very sharp. She said the best kisser of all the Bonds was Sean Connery." Born Lois Hooker in Kitchener, Ontario, in 1927, she lied about her age to join the Canadian army's Entertainment Corps at the age of 15. When her true age was discovered in London she avoided deportation by enrolling at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Maxwell won a Golden Globe award as Most Promising Female Newcomer in 1948 for her performance in the Shirley Temple comedy That Hagen Girl. She said she approved of Daniel Craig as the latest 007 in Casino Royale. "He looks dangerous," Maxwell told The Age newspaper in Melbourne last year. "He has a very good voice and, like my late husband, a very chewable lower lip." Maxwell married Peter Churchill Marriott in 1957 and had a son and daughter with him. Her husband died in 1973. Wait, So Who Is Moneypenny?

- MTV mtv [caption id="attachment_153452" align="alignleft" width="300"] MGM[/caption] SPOILER ALERT: If you go beyond this point, you'll be reading about a major reveal in "Skyfall." Proceed with caution. The last time we saw Miss Moneypenny in a James Bond film was 2002's "Die Another Day," during Pierce Brosnan's reign as 007. As one of the most legendary secretaries in movie history, she seemed to be the only female on the planet who could withstand Mr. Bond's advances. But what if we told you that, before the interoffice sexual tension, Moneypenny shot James Bond? That's how we are introduced to the latest incarnation of Miss Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris ("28 Days Later"), at the action-packed opening of "Skyfall." Well, as we're sure you could tell from the movie's trailers, she missed. Thankfully, Bond doesn't hold a grudge. In fact, she makes it up to him by giving him a very seductive shave at their next assignment.

And, with that, we witness the rebirth of an iconic character in the franchise (and, from the looks of it, this Moneypenny doesn't seem like the pencil pushing type). The Moneypenny character in the Bond lineage goes as far back as the first draft of 007 creator Ian Fleming's book "Casino Royale." Inspired by the personal assistant of the real MI6 director in the 1940s and a woman Fleming dated during World War II, she is the private secretary of M, the head of MI6 in the Bond series. Actress Lois Maxwell was the original Moneypenny, playing her from the first film, "Dr. No" (1962), to "A View To A Kill" (1985). That's 14 films! And, for all of them, there was certain to be a scene of Bond strolling into M's office and sharing a few double entendres with Miss Moneypenny.

There have been four other Moneypennys between Maxwell and Harris, but none of them had the memorable sexually-charged one-liners that Maxwell delivered to then Bonds Sean Connery and later Roger Moore (oh yes, and forgotten Bond George Lazenby, too). In "Skyfall" the character goes by her first name, Eve, until the big reveal of her surname at the end. Harris plays the character with feisty intensity (who knew Moneypenny could handle a gun?) and a strong sex appeal. In other words, we can't wait to see more of her in the 24th Bond film. Harris is no stranger to a blockbuster franchise. After gaining attention in "28 Days Later," the Brit was unrecognizable as the black magic witch in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels. Now, as Miss Moneypenny, her stock is certain to skyrocket. Though Harris has had to be mum about playing the iconic character in her interviews for the movie, we're hoping she'll be a bit more chatty about it after Friday. Dr. No (1962) Dr.

No (1962) Pages: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) Background Dr. No (1962) is the first of the James Bond series of action-packed spy thrillers, and it played a key role in establishing the Bond character as a recognizable icon in popular American contemporary culture. Bond began as a well-known literary figure in the works of British writer Ian Fleming (the first Bond book was Casino Royale, written in 1953). Terence Young, the film's director, went on to direct two other Bond films, From Russia With Love (1963), considered by many to be the definitive James Bond film, and the fourth film in the series, Thunderball (1965). All James Bond films feature clever opening title sequences and trademark theme music, sexy and beautiful women, great diabolical villains, exotic, international locales, the calm manner and witty, subtle humor and repartee of the mythic hero 007, violence, terrific action sequences, stunts and chase scenes, narrow escapes, gimmicks, humor, and great cinematography.

Its predictable formula stars the debonair, dashing and charming British "Secret Agent 007," James Bond, with great taste in clothes, wine, food, and exotic, sexy women. This first feature in a long line of great Bond film sequels was much less gadget-ridden than later films. The plot of this low-budget film was a timely one - it capitalized on the problems America was having with missile launches, and the changing mood of the country in the early 1960's. The Story The opening credits flash the titles on the screen with brilliant colors and sounds and feature silhouettes of beautiful girls and a gun-barrel - a look and feel which has remained consistent throughout subsequent Bond films. In the opening credits sequence, white dots travel across the screen, opening up into a gun barrel sight as the secret agent steps into view. He turns and fires toward the audience, causing a bloody-red color to wash over the screen. To a calypso beat, colorful silhouettes of erotic dancing girls undulate, to be replaced by the black silhouettes of three blind men moving in single file, tapping ahead of them with walking canes.

The music becomes a calypso version of "Three Blind Mice." Gradually, the silhouettes become realistic - three apparently-blind blacks tap their way down the street and into the driveway of the Queens Club (for private members only). On the veranda of the club, four men are seated playing bridge. One of them [later identified as Strangways (Tim Moxon)] rises and excuses himself to make a regularly-scheduled appointment, walking out onto the driveway of the club and passing the three blacks seen earlier. The man drops a coin in the cup of the first "blind" man. As he reaches his car and opens the door, he slumps down, shot in the back five times by guns fitted with silencers, held in the hands of the three men. A black hearse roars into view - the men load his body into the back and then jump in as it speeds off. The second scene, producing even more unease in the viewer, is introduced by the opening of a creaking old iron gate (by an unidentified hand of a black man) outside a tropical garden and bungalow.

On the gate hangs a mailbox marked: "Letter Box STRANGWAYS." Inside the bungalow, a woman opens up a bookcase which conceals a hidden ham radio set. She makes a call from there - "W6N" (Jamaica) to "G7W" (London), but from her sense of agitation, she expects someone to arrive who is overdue. As she stands and moves toward the door, she is startled by the sight of men standing at her windows. When she screams, glass breaks and she is spun to the ground when shot three times by the silenced guns. The killers enter and while two of them carry the woman's body out the door, a third rifles through a filing cabinet, locates and removes two folders titled "CRAB KEY" and "DOCTOR NO." In London, headquarters realizes that contact was broken with "W6N" in Jamaica, signalling trouble "during a routine transmission" and "it's not a technical fault." The build-up to the introduction of the famous secret agent in the fancy gambling casino, Le Cercle (Les Ambassadeurs, London) Club is established with over a dozen different camera angles before Bond's face is actually seen.

Playing cards at one of the chemin de fer gaming tables against a beautiful, wealthy and sexy brunette named Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson), James Bond (Sean Connery) introduces himself onscreen for the first time. He admires her willingness to continue playing against him (and losing elegantly), in a series of famous lines: Bond (offscreen): I admire your courage, Miss...? Sylvia: Trench, Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck. Mr...? Bond (while casually lighting his cigarette): Bond - James Bond. [Sylvia Trench has the dubious honor of being the very first Bond girl (even introduced before Bond himself), and she also reappeared in From Russia With Love (1963) briefly. She was to be a re-occurring character, but the idea was dropped. Trivia: she was the only Bond girl to appear as the same character twice in the films.] Bond is called away to Secret Service Headquarters.

After cashing in and setting up a dinner date with Miss Trench along with some verbal foreplay (Bond: "What other games do you play?" Sylvia: "Golf, among other things"), he reports to the office (disguised as a Universal Exports office) of Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell), the secretary of the head of the Secret Service, and she shows her obvious interest in him: [In the following sequences which are ritualistically repeated in later Bond films, Bond plays cat-and-mouse with his secretary who is mildly infatuated with him, and then learns the nature of his mission.] Bond: Moneypenny? What gives? Miss Moneypenny: Me - given an ounce of encouragement. You never take me to dinner looking like this, James. (She gestures toward his tuxedo) You never take me to dinner, period. Bond: I would you know, only M would have me court-martialed for, uh, illegal use of government property. Miss Moneypenny: Flattery will get you nowhere. But don't stop trying. According to her, the case involves their Jamaican agent Strangways.

Bond proceeds through the double-connecting doors from her office into the chief's office, Bond's crusty superior and the head of the British Secret Service named "M" (Bernard Lee). A set of red and green warning lights on the entry to the chief's office changes from red to green, signalling Bond to enter. After opening and entering through the leather-lined double-door entry, he finds the office warmly decorated with naval decor - ship models, paintings, and assorted bric-a-brac. It's 3 AM in the morning, prompting M to ponder: M: When do you sleep, 007? Bond: Never on the Crown's time, sir. Seated in a leathery chair, Bond is told that fellow S. S. agent Strangways in Jamaica has disappeared, along with his new secretary. Strangways was making an inquiry of the Americans into massive interference with Cape Canaveral (Florida) rockets. M describes Agent 007's new assignment - he is to investigate whether the agents' disappearance is linked to the interference with the flight paths of Cape Canaveral's nuclear rocket launches, since the source of the trouble appears to be in the Jamaican area.

Bond is to speak with Felix Leiter (Jack Lord), a long-time compatriot in the U.S. CIA who was working with Strangways in Jamaica. Bond is reminded of his special status in the Secret Service, told to be careful, and instructed to carry a different gun than his beretta: If you carry a double O number, it means you're licensed to kill, not get killed. The Secret Service's weapons expert cautions Bond to carry a smaller weapon for his protection.

She is secretary to M , who is Bond's boss and head of the British Secret Service . Contents Film biography Shared Background According to the movie You Only Live Twice , Moneypenny holds the rank of Second Officer in the Women's Royal Naval Service. GoldenEye Moneypenny is first heard when she briefs Bond on the profile of Xenia Onatopp and the yacht Manticore.

She makes her first appearance in GoldenEye when James , who had returned from his evaluation and attempt to stop the EMP-hardened helicopter, comes into M's office, only to see the secretary, wearing a dress and Moneypenny jokes about it and soon explained that she went to a theater with a gentleman and as they walk down to the meeting room, James reminds Moneypenny that they should have had one but she replies that he never had her. She soon has 007 moved into the briefing room before M came in. Tomorrow Never Dies Later she calls Bond, who is 'studying' Danish with a professor and tells him to get back as M needs him and soon insults Bond, calling him a 'cunning linguist' before hanging up and turns to see M is behind her and says 'Don't ask.' Which M replies 'Don't tell.' Upon hearing tat Bond should talk to Elliot Carver's wife and old friend of Bond, Paris , Moneypenny wants to know how much pumping is needed. After Bond blew up the stealth boat that destroyed a British ship and had the Chinese accused, M tells Moneypenny to write in the report that "Carver went sailing and was found missing, presumed dead.

Authorities believe he committed suicide". The World is Not Enough Bond returns from his mission in Spain and Moneypenny asks him if he brought her any souvenirs. He passes her the untouched cigar and she accepts, but immediately into the waste paper basket. Later in Scotland, Moneypenny chides the MI6 doctor, Molly Warmflash , for accepting Bond's sexual advances in return for a clean bill of health. Die Another Day Moneypenny has a smaller screen presence here. Towards the end of the movie, she experiments with Q 's virtual technology device and pretends she's making out with Bond. This is a stark shift from the previous films in which she had no romantic interest in Bond. Behind the scenes In 1995 Samantha Bond took over the role of Miss Moneypenny for the film GoldenEye . In keeping with the post-Cold War tone of GoldenEye, Bond's Moneypenny is portrayed as more feisty than previous incarnations of the character and just as capable of keeping pace with Bond's witticisms.

After Pierce Brosnan disclosed that he would not be returning to the role of James Bond in 2004, Samantha Bond also stated she would not be returning, feeling that her Moneypenny was closely linked to Brosnan's Bond. On October 14, 2005 at an official press conference, Bond producer Michael G. Wilson announced Miss Moneypenny and Q , two staples in virtually every Bond film, were not in the current draft of the script of the latest iteration of the Bond franchise, Casino Royale . Miss Moneypenny does not appear in the film, nor does she appear in Quantum of Solace . Gallery Trivia In a commercial for London's 2012 Olympic bid, Samantha Bond once again suited up as Miss Moneypenny. She appeared alongside Roger Moore , who played 007 between 1973-1985.

Moneypenny : Queen and country, James. M : Your job is to find out whether Carver or someone in his organization sent that ship off course, and why. Use your relationship with Mrs. Carver, if necessary. James Bond : I doubt if she'll remember me. M : Remind her. Then pump her for information.
