HOLLYWOOD - “‘'If you work in a Bond film, it could destroy your career,'" of potential Bond girls being told in the 1970s and early '80s recalls producer Michael G. Wilson, who has been involved with the series since 1965 and now runs the show, according to USA Today .
Portraying a Bond girl may have been perceived as a curse at one time but these days it is definitely more likely to launch a career rather than kill it.
Even so, actresses who sign up to play a Bond girl can pretty much count on their character coming to some untimely demise—it’s not much of a spoiler considering that in the almost 50 years the Bond franchise has been around, that only two Bond girls have actually captured James Bond's heart, the rest have turned out to be villainesses.
Now, how they die...that's where it gets interesting!
SPOILER ALERT: In the new 007 movie Quantum of Solace, Gemma Arterton’s character is drowned in crude oil and her lifeless body is left draped over a bed in a scene deliberately reminiscent of the 1964 Bond classic Goldfinger reports the UK’s Daily Mail.

Arterton, who plays an MI6 spy ordered to keep an eye on a renegade Bond, was covered from head to toe in sticky black liquid for the dramatic sequence.
“I couldn’t move. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t breathe or hear because it went in my ears,” Arterton tells the UK’s Daily Mail. “It was unpleasant, but it’s something I’ll always remember and it will be an iconic part of the film.”
