    She is supposedly one of the passengers on the same cable car Moore steps off of when going to Fisherman's Wharf to meet Chuck Lee.

    Even Maud says she can't find herself in the shot. I think this is one of those stories that's gotten a bit mangled over time. She probably was there and they probably did film her but it's entirely possible that's not the take we're seeing in the finished film or she was actually out of the frame for that take.

    I've posted this before but always love to repeat it because it's so typical of the "magic" of movie-making: The cable cars had actually been shut-down for a massive retro-fit during the filming of AVTAK. To maintain appearances, dozens of motorized cable cars--that is, basically buses with cable car bodies--were brought in. There are no actual cable cars in AVTAK and even if they were running, there is no service within blocks of Fisherman's Wharf.

    Apparently, she's not on the cable car, now she is just usually credited as being a woman on Fisherman's Wharf.

    Well, Maud Adams did said so, but not with any great certainty. "I think you solved the mystery. It looks very much like me." I don't think you can say those words are definitive. Which still leaves room for doubt.

    Another thing, I would have thought she would be able to recognise the man she is walking with. Especially, if he was her boyfriend.

    She did recognise him - i cant remember wheter it was her boyfriend or someone she knew - but i watched this thing where people were like you can see blah blah on her arm etc - its her

    Oh, excellent, where? ?:) Or maybe you just thought you saw her. You know, if you're really looking for something, you might think you did find it even if you actually came next to nothing. 8-)

    No, I saw somewhere how to spot Maud Adams. It's during when Bond and Chuck Lee are walking and talking about Mortner and Conley. I forget when though but she's holding a shopping bag and is wearing a brown jacket.

    Of all of the Bond mysteries that stump me. This one I actually had to see for myself and it sure looks like that is her.

    Why was she in Frisco in the first place? On a holiday? ?:)

    She lives in California. When she heard the filming was heading to San Francisco, she decided to visit the set to see Roger.

    Here is a quote from another site:
    ".... and appears as an extra on a streetcar when Bond arrives at Fisherman's wharf (she's not visible in pan and scan versions)"
    www.mjnewton.demon.co.uk

    This site also lists her, even claims to have found the full scene. But unfortunately, all media links are broken. :(

    I wonder why Mrs. Adams doesn´t precisely specify the location where the shooting took place. A streetcar should be easily distinguishable from a public crowd...

    I've already posted a link where it shows a photo of Maud along with her bf at the time walking behind Bond.

    She said she belives it's her - plus she wasnt on a tram she was walking behind bond - end of.

    By the way i wouldnt trust anything universelexports says - there rubbish lol - they have photos of wrong casts and give names that arent right.

    I believe she can be seen walking behind Chuck Lee and Bond.
