3. Miranda Frost Die Another Day
At the mere age of 23, Pike forever cemented herself in cinema history by playing Bond girl Miranda Frost, the assistant to Gustav Graces (Toby Stephens), who is in fact an undercover MI6 agent and, ultimately, a double agent who betrays James (Pierce Brosnan), before being killed by fellow Bond girl Jinx (Halle Berry).
In fairness, Die Another Day is a film in which practically no actor emerges unscathed: Brosnan is forced to suffer through all sorts of indigities, Berry is a weird fit for a Bond girl, and though Pikes classic beauty and Britishness makes her better-suited to the franchise, shes ultimately given little to do beyond look sexy and act cold towards Bond before the wildly predictable plot twist shows up.
Its unfortunate for Pike that she got cast in probably the worst of the Bond films to date, because as a lead Bond girl with a stronger script, she couldve been one for the ages. Instead, shes a shockingly dull (if attractive) character in a laughably bad movie. -

Pike was great in Die Another Day, she was one of the bright spots of the film and I wish she would have been the actual Bond girl of the film instead of Halle. Rosamund was absolutely stunning in the film and I enjoyed her chemistry with Pierce.
Ron beep Swanson is the greatest thing that ever happened to television.
