About Chris Lawmon Expertise James Bond. I think I can answer almost any James Bond related question. Be it about the films or the books. Characters or actors.
I`ve got all of the films (DVD and Video), all of the novels (Fleming,
Markham, Wood, Gardner or Benson) and a whole host of referance material. Give me a try.
Experience I've been watching and collecting Bond material for a good 20 years or so.

Question Is it true that Charlie's Angel's Kate Jackson was supposed to play a Bond girl originally? If so, could you identify which bond film? Also, is it true that Julie Christie was originally supposed to play Ursula Andress's role in "Dr.No"?
Thank You
Answer Hi Christie,
Julie Christie was one of the early choices to be a Bond Girl, but it wasn't in 'Dr. No', but for the part of Domino in 'Thunderball', but she missed out to Claudine Auger instead.
I can find no record of Kate Jackson being specifically down for a Bond Girl role, but you have to remember that literally hundreds of actresses were screen tested for each film, so you never know ...
