Dr. Christmas Jones

Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones, an American nuclear physicist assisting Bond in his mission.[3]  Richards stated that she liked the role because it was "brainy", "athletic", and had "depth of character, in contrast to Bond girls from previous decades".[4]  Richards stated that a lot of viewers "made fun of" the character's attire but that "These Bond girls are so outrageous and if I did really look like a scientist, the Bond fans would have been disappointed."[5]  Writer Ben Bussey stated in a ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Movies Yahoo! Movies]'' article that "it's clear that Eon were never aiming especially high with this character" since the company "reportedly" auditioned Geri Halliwell and Tiffani Thiessen for the role.[6]
