Interesting fact:

Lois Maxwell accepted the role under question under the following requirements: “you don’t put my hair in a bun and horn rimmed glasses on me”. Maxwell later said of her character: "Of course she's in love with Bond, but she's too much a lady to go chasing after him. So she smiles and bides her time. In a way, you can't blame her. Every woman would like to live dangerously with James Bond, if only for 20 minutes, or half a night..."
