2 ex Bond girls appear in CR

Mr Saint John Smith

Not sure if anyone realised but 2 ex girls appeared in Casino Royale -

Tsai Chin who played Ling in YOLT - The chinese girl with Bond at the begining of the film -

Tsai appears as Madame Wu in Casino Royale - She is the old chinese lady that is seen playing cards on Le Chiffre's boat and is later seen playing poker with Bond and Le Chifre at the big tournament.

Diane Hartford played Girl in Kiss Kiss Club in Thunderball. She is seen when Bond dances with her and exchanges a few lines as he tries to avoid Fiona Volpe - Her apperance had something to do with her husband owning Paradise Island in the Bahamas where TB was filmed -

Diane appears as one of the card players on Le Chiffre's boat in Casino Royale - Maybe to do with some scenes being filmed in the Bahamas

I remember reading that about Tsai Chin, but not about the aother lady's apperance.

Cheers

caractacus potts

now thats cool
I wonder how many other injokes there are like that for us to find?
reminds me of the cameos in Superman Returns by the 1950s Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen

I spotted Tsai Chin, but not Diane Hartford- looks like I'll just have to see the film again, then...:p

Tilly Masterson 007

Tsai Chin is the only woman card player on Le Chiffre's yacht. She appears again as one of the main players at Casino Royale.

Are we talking about the girl to whom Connery remarks:

"Why do Chinese girls taste different?"

I'm not being facetious - Genuine question...

Yup, that's the one! She gives him very best duck!

Mr Saint John Smith

Oh ok i thought she was in that scene as she is credited as one of the card players and thought i saw another female card player on the yacht -

Well dunno where she is then but she's deffintly somewhere

Yannis

When Bond gets out of the car at the club, he cheked out a couple tennis players. Who was the one on the right? I could swear I recognized her.

What nationality is Diane Hartford? German? Irish? Canadian?

Michael G. Wilson is uncredited as the Chief of Police. Did anyone catch that?

Peter Notley, who did Special effects in DAD and Goldeneye played an MI6 Technician in CR... Maybe these inside cameos should be a completely different topic. So, just to recap, so far, we found the two girls, Michael G. WIlson, and Peter Notley. Thank you IMDB!!

How do you guys say it across the pond?
Cheers!

Yeh, I noticed Michael G Wilson as well, but didn't notice the 2 chinese ladies

Mr Saint John Smith

Diane Hartford isnt chinese i think she's American and lives in the Bahamas.

The female Tennis Player is played by Victoria Seceret model Aessandra Ambrosio

Richard Branson also made a cameo

Yannis

Alessandra Ambrosio? Cool. No wonder she was so attractive. I wonder if she can actually play tennis though...

That's another item checked off of Branson's list: "Appear in a Bond film"

Agent Wade

Wilson's cameo was probably the most obvious one yet. He's usually quite good about keeping a rather blink-and-you-miss onscreen appearance. This one was a little gratuitous. If it was any other extra, I maybe wouldn't have minded as much, but Mathis referred directly to him this time. It doesn't weaken the movie though.

JennyFlexFan

Cameo this! Cameo that! Good finds SJS, they should give us members cameos as well. I could only imagine my part.

Me: Hello sir, is that Jenny Flex?

Bond: Of course it is.

Loeffelholz

Wilson's cameo in CR is my favourite of all his appearances; love the chain he's wearing )

Mr Saint John Smith

I've very recently spoke to Diane Hartford and she explained which scene she appears in Casino Royale.

She is one of the Card players at the Ocean Club who is seen sitting next to Simon Abkarian (Alex Dimitrios). If my memory serves me right there playing Texas Holdem Poker.

I know this is avery old thread, but did anyone recognise the other "tennis girl" in the shot?...

well it's DC's PA Veronika Hladikova; this is a shot I took of her with DC, Satsuki and BB on a balcony of Hotel Splendid in Karlovy Vary...

BTW, she's credited on IMDB....

Unlike Martin Campbell, who is uncredited as an airport worker!....
