Bond girl

One thing has changed through
the decades, though – the pack
of cigarettes behind Ms
Rampling ’s derriere has vanished,
a nod to the fact smoking is no
longer promoted as sexy.
Despite her protestations, this is
not the first time Paris-born Ms
Green has been naked in the line
of duty.
Before starring as Vesper Lynd
opposite Daniel Craig ’s 007, she
took a lead role in The
Dreamers, a film by Last Tango
In Paris director Bernardo
Bertolucci that featured several
explicit bedroom scenes.

Royale in 2006
Even though the role was her
big-screen debut, Ms Green ’s
father and twin sister Joy refused
to watch it.
The actress said: ‘They’re not in
the business. They get confused.’
And she admitted: ‘I felt a bit ill
when I saw it. I’m not confident
with my body.’
But she seems to have
conquered her coyness for
Tatler. Another image shows her
wearing only a mink coat – again
echoing a familiar theme from
the work of German-born
Newton, who died in 2004.
His 1973 photograph of Ms
Rampling for Vogue magazine –
taken at the Hotel Nord Pinus II
in Arles, near Marseilles, and
titled The Sexiest Woman In The
World – firmly sealed her
reputation as a sex symbol.
Ms Green thinks she is unlikely
to earn the same plaudits.
‘I opened a magazine the other
day and they called me the
worst-dressed person in the
world, ’ she said.
‘And I was like, “I like that
dress.”’
Well, at least no one can criticise
what she ’s wearing in this latest
picture ..
