The Best Black Actors and Actresses in James Bond Film History
Grace Jones as Mayday
A View to Kill (1985)
A year after playing opposite Governor Schwarzenegger in Conan the Destroyer, (way better than the 2011 Conan movie btw), the wild, domineering and leather-clad Grace Jones gave movies audiences a visually striking stunt. The 5’9″ Jamaican-born actress crushed Moore-as-Bond with a bear hug in her official Bond girl role as Mayday. By the mid-eighties, interracial love scenes were nearly run of the mill, but there’s obviously nothing common about a love scene with Grace Jones. Look at those cheek bones!
