Misogyny in James Bond's movies
"According to a research conducted by The Times for the 40th anniversary of the publication of Goldfinger, which featured one of the most outlandish deaths - suffocation by gold paint - bedding agent 007 is proving fatal for the sultry Bond girls. Sixteen of the 51 Bond lovers have met with a deadly end, kicked off by the murder of Jill Masterson, played by Shirley Eaton in 1964's third Bond film 'Goldfinger'. Out of all the actors, who portrayed the British superspy in the James Bond franchise, Daniel Craig has been the most toxic." (thanks Julie)
