I was thinking as she, Is also a Intelligence officer, (sure for
another country). Not as In the Novel Moonraker, But as with
Gala Brand, Bond only becomes Friends with her and doesn't
end the film going off with her as her Lover. ? any Thoughts ?

Just thought as she was a very different Bond girl,
They might of been thinking about Bond's relationship
With G Brand. Not an excact Copy but a woman in a
similar Sate of Mind.

Although it is interesting as to Why they've never used her as a Character.
I remember reading many of The Saint stories ( Long ago). Didn't
L Charteris think Fleming had stolen large bits of Simon Templar to
create Bond ?
There are some interesting threads in the Lit Forum which touch on that subject, TP.
On topic, I don't see much resemblance between Camille and Gala, bar the fact that they're both rare among Bond Female Leads in not sleeping with him (not totally unheard of- Liz Krest springs to mind- but rare nonetheless). Being a fellow intelligence officer is fairly common (Wai Lin, Anya, Tania (arguably), Aki, Holly, Pam).
"Moonraker was the first Bond novel that I read and it remains my favourite. For me, it had everything, the best villain in Sir Hugo Drax, the cliff-falling scene and the dinner plates afterwards, the bizarre newsprint car chase, the bridge game, the fact that it was set entirely in England and Fleming was in his element and the ultimate answer to those who say the Bond girls are all just mindless bimbos, just there as 'eye candy' in the character of Gala Brand (whom Bond never sleeps with, similar to Camille in QoS, I believe)."
Agreed, but He did end up in Bed with them all. Dirty work and all that.
Camille like Gala seemed to fill a different Need in Bond, a shoulder to (If not
cry on) at least lean on for support, as a Friend.
Just shows SILHOUETTE MAN, I'm slow on the up take but I do catch on. It
only popped in to my head the other night.

Sounds all too familiar, my friend.
