Ursula Andress – Dr. No – 1962

In one of cinema’s most iconic moments, Ursula Andress, as “Honey Ryder” in the 1962 James Bond classic “Dr. No,” emerges from the Caribbean Sea in a striking white two-piece swimsuit, complemented with a hip knife—a symbol of both allure and strength. This scene not only set the standard for Bond girls but also catapulted Ursula to international stardom.

Her portrayal of Honey, a character blending innocence with savvy survival skills, added a unique depth to the film. “Dr. No,” the first in the James Bond series, set the tone for genre-blending espionage with sophisticated glamour. Her role as Honey Ryder, merging beauty with fierce independence, remains a benchmark in film.
