RichardM00799 The Double-O Dispatches Proven it’s not. Her hair was darker than that lady and she had a white blouse and (80s shoulder pad) jacket. A BTS shows her on set with her then bf, Dr Steven Zacks. He “buys” clams from Chuck Lee as Bond comes into shot and is wearing the same clothes as below.

For February 18th, we're going back to the sunbaked shores of the Bahamas with the girls from Never Say Never Again, which incidentally was the only time two Bond films shared a marquee at the same time (with Octopussy in 1983)!

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of the SPECTRE agent (memorable by her yellow jacket) was played by singer, novelist and actress Marsha Hunt, who was briefly with Marc Bolan from the band T Rex & later Mick Jagger. They had a daughter, Karis Jagger, in 1970.

February 18, 1938: Sumo wrestler Shinmatsu Sasada is born in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. He would later play himself in "You Only Live Twice" (1967).

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of the spa receptionist was played by actress Jill Meager. She's now also a famous wildlife painter.

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) This marks the first occasion that Moneypenny is played by another actress (unless you include Casino Royale 1967). She was played by Pamela Salem who was in several Doctor Who episodes and also played the witch Belor in "Into the Labyrinth."

Feb 18, 1973: "The Phoenix Project," a comic serial by Jim Lawrence and Yaroslav Horak, is first published in the Daily Express. It was later collected into a single volume in 2007.

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of the hostage girl was played by Wendy Leech, daughter of stuntman and coordinator George Leech who worked in every Bond film from "Dr No" to "For Your Eyes Only."

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of the Woman in the Bahamas was played by Valerie Leon, who may look familiar...she was the receptionist at the hotel in Sardinia in "The Spy Who Loved Me!"

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of masseuse Pat Fearing, played by Molly Peters in "Thunderball," is played by Prunella Gee, who was suggested by Michael Caine. Unlike in the book, Bond doesn't seduce her with blackmail, opting for caviar instead. Good change! 🤦‍♀️😂

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The somewhat comedic role of the Shrublands cook was played by veteran actress Joanna Dickens, was in "Victor/Victoria," "Pink Floyd's The Wall," and also played the barmaid in "Willow."

The Double-O Dispatches Michael Perilstein RetroDude There's a 2017 New York Times article where she elaborates about it. I gather she was terrified after getting the part, and that working in the UK where few spoke Japanese was quite tough. Here's an extract from it, it's worth a read.

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of Domino Petachi (switched back her original name) was played by Kim Basinger, who portrayed her as the Americanized embodiment of '80's Hollywood glamour instead of Claudine Auger's European take, which was closer to the book.

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The young nurse at Shrublands was played by Lucy Hornak, who also had a bit part as one of the married women in "4 Weddings & A Funeral." She's now a mother of 3, a strict vegetarian, enjoys painting, and still occasionally attends Bond events

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of the Shrublands masseuse was played by Brenda Kempner, who a few years earlier scored a small part on David Lynch's "The Elephant Man."

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of French Secret Service agent Nicole was played by Tunisian- born French actress Saskia Cohen Tanugi, who sadly passed away a few short months before Sean Connery in 2020.

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of Fatima Blush, which is clearly a revamping of Luciana Paluzzi's Fiona Volpe, was played by Barbara Carrera, who I will always remember for her flamboyant outfits and the most ridiculous sex scene in a Bond film including Moonraker!

Feb 18: Never Say Never Again (1983) The role of the French minister was played by Sylvia Marriott, who as well as doing some minor voice work for Disney's "101 Dalmatians" was also in Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun."
