Jill St. John – 1940
Most die-hard James Bond fans will recognize this beauty. Former actress Jill St. John will forever be known as the first American Bond girl of the 007 franchise. The ladies chosen to play the part are usually stunning and charismatic, which is the case with this one. She starred alongside the late Sean Connery in “Diamonds Are Forever.”
St. John went on to star in several other films and television shows, like “Come Blow Your Horn,” for which she received a Golden Globe nomination in 1963. As of recent years, she’s chosen to shy away from Hollywood and focus her interests on cooking and becoming a ‘mountain gal.’
