Joanna Pettet

As Miss Moneypenny and Mata Bond, respectively, Barbara Bouchet (below) and Joanna Pettet (above) adorned the James Bond spoof Casino Royale. Barbara made it mainly on the strength of a nude surfside smooch with Hugh O’Brian, most of which was snipped from In Harm’s Way; but Joanna was already a veteran of two films, including The Group. – Playboy. January 1969.
