With a name like that, how could she fail to get the part? Samantha Bond was a very well established, but not well known, actress when she landed the part of Miss Moneypenny for Bond's return in GoldenEye. She has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, has had many prestigious roles in theatre (she was Juliet to Kenneth Branagh's Romeo), and it shows. Samantha Bond has successfully managed to both update Moneypenny and bring a new twist to the role.

Most memorable quote:
Moneypenny: You know, all this behaviour could qualify as sexual harassment.
Bond: Oh? and what's the penalty for that?
Moneypenny: Someday you have to make good on all your innuendo.

Involvement
Over many years and numerous mission, Moneypenny has always remained M's secretary, and usually encountered Bond before and after his briefings with M. On several occasions Bond and Moneypenny's flirtations have been met with stuffy old-hat warnings from M.
