Maud Adams is in 3 Bond films. She's in Octopussy and The Man with the Golden Gun as everyone knows. And she's in A View to a Kill as an extra walking behind Bond on the docks. The story is she came to visit the set of the movie and they asked her and her boyfriend to be extras in the background. It was confirmed by Adams herself according to this site: http://commanderbond.net/article/2410. I'll post a pic but i dont where to put it. Should i put it here or on The Man with the Golden Gun page?

Maud Adams is not the only person to play two different people in two different bond films. Martine Beswicke plays Paula Caplan in Thunderball and Zora in From Russia with Love.
