If former Bond Girl Valerie Leon has her way, the world will never see a
female James Bond.
The 75-year-old actress, who starred in 1977's "
The Spy Who Loved Me" and 1983's "Never Say Never Again" griped on "
Good Morning Britain": "The world has gone mad. I'm dressed in black. I am in mourning that we're here to talk about Bond being a woman."
She continued, "He was conceived as a man, Ian Fleming created him as a man."
