Which Bond film should/could she have done
Got to be Thunderball - either the main Bond girl or the villainess role (probably the latter)
Strange, I thought also Thunderball when I saw the subject. Not the villain, though, because that would mean no Lucianna Paluzzi, who is my favourite bond girl. But I could well replace the present actress who played Domino with Sophia. She wasn't very special, IMHO. Quite bland beauty queen.
shareyeh it could only be TB really , she too big name for 1st movie Dr No (and Ursula as Honey is iconic) or FRWL (and not russian), GF its impossible to think of anyone but Honor Blackman as 'Pussy Galore', YOLT was all japan, OHMSS not unless it was opposite Connery (and who want to lose Emma Peel), DAF nah (meh movie) ..but TB is the one with the European girls (French/Italian)
and yeh i think Sophia was simply too 'nice' to play a villain and i dont think she ever did (although maybe itd have been a welcome change for her idk), she'd have been 30/31 for TB so perfect age to star opposite 35y old Connery, and obviously by TB Bond was absolutely huge biggest film franchise ever, so big enough for a huge star like Sophia to realistically appear
