| has gloss | eng: Practically alone of all major Bond Girls of the Fleming canon, Gala Brand has not appeared as a character in a James Bond film, the movie version of the novel being an almost total rewrite of the book Moonraker. The only other Bond girl of the Fleming novels to share this fate is Vivienne Michel of the novel The Spy Who Loved Me. However, actress Rosamund Pike, in the DVD commentary for the 2002 Bond film, Die Another Day, states that her character, Miranda Frost, was originally to have been named Gala Brand, but that this was changed at the last minute. |
