007 Women Who Could Make Great Bond Girls

In the minds of any Bond geek worth his mini-rocket cigarette lighter, there is no greater distinction for an actress than to be chosen as a Bond Girl. With Quantum of Solace in theaters this weekend, here's a look at seven actresses who may be worthy of the honor in Bond 23 and beyond.

Sarah Shahi. This 28-year-old actress is American-born, but of Iranian descent, giving her a hint of exoticness present in most Bond Girls. She's also relatively unknown, like many actresses tapped for the role (she's appeared on Showtime's L Word but little else). Also: She's hotter than a flame-throwing spray can.
