10 Craziest Movie Myths (That Turned Out To Be True)
9. A Transgender Woman Appears In A Bond Movie
A little bit of context is needed before getting to the meat of this entry. The confusion surrounding this rumour comes from the claim that a transgender woman - named Caroline Cossey - actually played a Bond girl in For Your Eyes Only. The rumour went further saying that Roger Moore had filmed a love scene with her and became upset when he learned the truth; none of which is true.
What is true is that she does appear in the film but she doesn't play a lead role, or even a speaking role for that matter. She can be seen very briefly walking around a swimming pool and is credited appropriately as Girl at Pool. She later posed in a Playboy shoot to promote the film but sadly her career took a knock when the press revealed her past.
So yes, a transgender woman does appear in For Your Eyes Only but she doesn't have a love scene with Bond.
