film information

Dr Holly Goodhead played by Lois Chiles is the main Bond Girl of Moonraker. Corinne Dufour tells Bond where he can find Holly who will continue the tour around the Moonraker complex.

Holly introduces Bond to the centrifugal chamber where astronauts get to grips with G forces and invites him to have a try. Bond accepts and Holly leaves him to it. After Bond is nearly killed by Chang, Drax's henchman who takes over the controls of the chamber, Holly returns.

Bond travels to Venice to investigate Venni Glass a company named in some of Drax's plans. Bond spots Holly and follows her before re-introducing himself. Later that evening Bond pays Holly a visit after dealing with Chang, and they spend the night together.

After being told to take two weeks leave by M, Bond travels to Rio where he meets Dr Goodhead once more. On the way down from Sugarloaf mountain by cable car they run into Jaws, now working for Drax. They manage to escape Jaws but get taken by some of Drax's men pretending to be paramedics. Bond manages to escape from the ambulance speeding towards Drax's base unfortunately leaving Holly behind.

The whereabouts of Dr Holly Goodhead is revealed when Bond is taken to see Drax in his jungle base. After managing to escape being fried underneath Drax's Moonraker 5 with help of Bonds detonator watch, Bond and Holly take the places of the Moonraker 6 pilots. After a battle aboard Drax's space station Holly and Bond escape in Moonraker 5, destroying the globes Drax intends to kill the human race with and make love whilst orbiting the Earth!

character information

Dr Holly Goodhead is for the second time in a row another spy. Instead of working for the KGB like Major Anya Amasova in The Spy Who Loved Me, Dr Goodhead is a fully trained astronaut working for the CIA. Working undercover in Drax's organisation Bond discovers Hollys secret identity when he spots her standard CIA gadgetry in her hotel room. While Bond and Holly are at first reluctant to work together, they do work well as a team towards the end of the film. §
