Alison Doody
certainly has one of the
more intriguing (to say nothing of imaginative) Bond names
– Jenny Flex (and, manoman, she does cut one helluva heavenly figure in that outfit, no?).
Now, if you don’t believe us, see if two unknowns named Spielberg and Lucas can convince ya, seeing as how (right after this) they cast her as the love interest for both Father Connery and Son Ford in that little seen art curio, Whatsisname and the Lust – we mean, Last Crusade.
As someone once said: Beauty may be only skin deep, but, dammit, it’s still Beauty …

Actually, the only aspect of her appearance we hold the film-makers (not her) insultingly accountable for is the atrocious "love scene" they saddled her with (the singular instance in all the Bond films we find utterly offensive in the extremis). Even the "Fetch my shoes" bit with Quarrel from Dr. No pales in comparison to this odious bit (evidently someone’s insensitively idiotic idea of the snarling, hot Exotic.  It’s no accident you’ve never seen any vanilla actress handed this horrendous episode. And don’t insult our intelligence by telling us we’re over-reacting to racial overtones that aren’t there – we're NOT, they are: and if you wanna ignore either the implication or possibility, then that’s your rightful ostrich-like choice).
I won't deny that you have a point. The love scene was offensive, with the kind of "primitive" stereotype performance they had her give. Although she might have been all for it, for all we know. Artists often have bad judgement and lack objectivity, and Grace Jones in my view is FULLY susceptible to these failings.
But I would add that the aspect of her love scene that made me even more uncomfortable was the mismatch of putting her with an aged and decrepit Roger Moore. Who believes that Mayday would find him hot? Tanya Roberts had this gentle, submissive quality that made her seem very understanding, like maybe she could have a thing for older men. Jones did not come off that way, and her show of lust for Moore was unconvincing to the point of farce.
Also, Bond girls should be pretty, and Jones was (at best) a handsome man.
