Chinese actress Tsai Chin, who has been acting for more than sixty years and was recently seen as Waipo Chen in Shang-Chi, appeared in two James Bond films... 39 years apart.

Firstly, in You Only Live Twice she played Ling, an MI6 agent in Hong Kong who is one of Bond's sexual conquests and also helps him to fake his death.

Secondly, she played Madam Wu, one of the players in the poker game in Casino Royale. Unlike other eras of the franchise the Craig films didn't make a habit of bringing back a past actor as a different character, so this was a fairly rare occurrence for the Daniel Craig era.
