Karin Dor was a German actress. She was famous to international audiences for her role as Bond girl Helga Brandt in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967) and her appearance in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Topaz (1969).

A Bond girl is a character who is a love interest, female companion or (occasionally) an adversary of James Bond in a novel, film, or video game. Bond girls occasionally have names that are double entendres or sexual puns, such as Plenty O'Toole, Holly Goodhead, or Xenia Onatopp. The female leads in the films, such as Ursula Andress, Honor Blackman, or Eva Green, can also be referred to as "Bond girls". The term Bond girl may also be considered as an anachronism, with some female cast members in the films preferring the designation Bond woman.
