The Things You Learn
Yep, we're watching "Octopussy" tonight. And my favorite pastime while watching things is looking them up in IMDB at the same time. Tonight, I wanted to know who the icy blonde was, and I mistakenly identified her as Maud Adams. Maud is now a redhead, and played 'Octopussy' (1983) as a brunette; this is her second of at least three Bond movies. In 1974, she was in "The Man with the Golden Gun," and in '85 she had a bit part in "A View to a Kill." But tonight's icy blonde is actually Kristina Wayborn.
While perusing the filmography of one Maud Adams, I found she had recently had a part on That '70's Show. As Holly, one of Midge's bridesmaids, in the glorious green and gold gowns honoring the Green Bay Packers. Remember? Remember the other bridesmaids, Honor and Barbara? They were played respectively by Kristina Wayborn and Barbara Carrera. Now, it wasn't a huge stretch to learn that Midge would have gorgeous model-like friends to be her bridesmaids. But that is not all they had in common. Nosiree, Bob. Because Tanya Roberts (Midge) also appeared in "A View to a Kill" as Stacy Sutton, and in case you forgot, Barbara Carrera was Fatima Blush in "Never Say Never Again." (also 1983).
So the thing that Midge and her bridesmaids have in common is that they were ALL Bond Girls!! I can't tell you why, but this fills me with glee for some reason. It's so freakin' silly! And I'm totally going to rule at Trivial Pursuit, or win some cool concert tickets for having learned this piece of ephemera.
