Bond girl Rarity", "The Living Daylights", and "The Property of a Lady" feature female characters in prominent roles, but none of these women interact with Bond in a romantic way. There are several different archetypes for Bond girls: those who assist him, femme fatales (who invariably make an attempt on Bond's life), sacrificial lambs (female associates of Bond who wind up dead) and romantic interests. Since it is debatable whether certain girls fulfill certain tropes (i.e. If Bond kisses a girl does that make her a romantic interest? Is Pussy Galore a "femme fatale" due to her being in league with Goldfinger?)
Bond girl for all of Fleming's Bond girls may be his onetime lover Muriel Wright, who according to "The Times" Wright was 26 and "exceptionally beautiful" when she and Fleming met in 1935. A talented rider, skier, and polo player, Wright was independently wealthy and a model. She was devoted to Fleming, despite his repeated unfaithfulness. She died in an air raid in 1944, devastating Fleming, who called Wright "too good to be true". Ursula Andress (as Honey Ryder) in "Dr. No" (1962) is widely regarded as the first Bond girl, although she was preceded by both Eunice Gayson as Sylvia Trench
