Bond girls have always been an essential part of the formula, one of the many things that have helped the series acquire its almost mythical status. And while most Bond girls play the part of acquaintance or ally, once in a while along comes a Bond Girl who plays the villain when the plot calls for it.

While we could fill pages with the numerous starlets who have played Bond girls over the years (such is the hypnotic nature of these sirens), we decided it would be a lot more interesting to profile Bond Girls who have played the part of bad guy (or, rather, girl) over the years.

Miranda Frost

Die Another Day's Miranda Frost (played by Rosamund Pike) plays a double agent pretending to work for MI6 while her real interests like in furthering the goals of major villain Gustav Graves. Boasting an education from Harvard, the cold-hearted Frost is true to her name.

How she meets her end

Assigned to work with Agent Double O Seven, she pretends to play the part of his lover, but soon reveals her true loyalties to Graves when she attempts to kill Bond. The latter being the master of survival he is, of course, escapes and Frost meets her deserving end at the hands of National Security Agent and Bond's ally Jinx (Halle Berry).
