Stepping into the World of James Bond: Dr. Christmas Jones

In 1999, Denise Richards landed a role that would forever associate her with the iconic James Bond franchise. She portrayed Dr. Christmas Jones, a nuclear physicist, in the film “The World is Not Enough.” Despite believing in the character’s intellect, athleticism, and depth, she faced criticism for not appearing credible in the role. Her outfit, featuring a low-cut tank top and tight shorts, sparked controversy.

However, Denise remained resilient in the face of criticism, defending her portrayal by stating that Bond girls were known for their outrageousness, and had she looked more like a scientist, it might have disappointed the devoted Bond fans.
