James Bond franchise
To date Samantha Bond has been in four James Bond films. She was preceded by Caroline Bliss and Lois Maxwell. In a BBC 4 interview she remarked that she would retire from her role with the departure of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. No actress has thus far been cast to fill the role and for the first time since the film series began, Miss Moneypenny was absent from the latest film, Casino Royale in 2006 as the role was not included in the screenplay.
Although a short-lived Moneypenny, she says she does have at least one claim to fame: she was the Moneypenny who kissed 007, rather than be kissed by him.
