Bond Girls Are Forever, a documentary due to air on the AMC channel on Nov. 6 assembles the actresses who have portrayed 007's temptresses since the original Dr. No. The film, produced and narrated by Maryam d'Abo, who appeared as a Bond girl herself in 1987's The Living Daylights, examines how the feminist movement has affected the evolution of the female lead characters. It also provides a glimpse into the unromantic business of creating onscreen romance. For example, Jane Seymour, who was the Bond girl in 1973's Live and Let Die, describes her love scenes as "torture," explaining: "The angle at which you have to pose, you really have to be a contortionist you know. If your leading man or you have any makeup on, that sort of slides from one person to another... And, of course, the hair -- it's in the way. There's nothing sexy about it at all."
