Carole Bouquet

Was interviewed for the lead role in the James Bond film Moonraker - Operazione spazio (1979) but lost the role to Lois Chiles. Nevertheless, she impressed director John Glen who cast her in the lead for the next Bond film Solo per i tuoi occhi (1981). Even though she received good notices from critics and moviegoers for her performance as a revenge-seeking heroine, the producers excluded her from the film's publicity tour because of an earlier interview she gave where she said Roger Moore was old enough to be her father rather than a romantic lead, due to the thirty-year age difference. Over the years, she has avoided Bond events and interviews about the film.
