In a Connery film there was an attractive brunette, I think she was Asian. I believe she was murdered in her house or apartment in the story. Any ideas?
A brilliantly-belated "Welcome Aboard the Bond-wagon", Sol .
We have a slight suspicion falling short of an upright certainty you may be referring to Akiko Wakabayashi, who so memorably played Aki in Der Great Scot's original 007 swansong.
She had so much energy, life and style plus saved Meester Bond's bacon with her female McQueen driving that being the designated Sacrificial Lamb - in a most ingeniously suspenseful manner - only left a HUGE vacuum the rest of the flick truly couldn't (and didn't) recover from, right TeeGee?
