    Here's another one for you, LCHIEN...

    Back to our years-old topic of Hot Chicks that Play Violin (or whatever it was called), I just scored second row for German violinist Julia Fischer here at the university in April.

    very nice. I've also got a thing for girls that play the cello. Maybe its the way they hold it between their legs....
    I remember a nice girl in the Cornell orchestra who always litled her head so nicely when she played. Then there was the girl in an Eastern European orchestra in James Bond movie who was the assassin; Cellist was just her cover. Which movie was that? He was supposed to kill her but just winged her as she was about to do her job.

    So this pretty young lady in your link is in the Academy of St. Martins in the Field. I was once wandering by myself in London's Trafalger square not far from Lord Nelson's statue when I came across this chruch that had some wonderful chamber music wafting out the front door. So I walked on in and sat down and enjoyed some music for a while. Upon exiting I looked at the name on the church and it was St. Martins in the Field.

    Of Course being a classical music fan I'd heard of the Academy of St. Martins in the Field (what a wonderful name, eh?) all my life (it's a chamber music group for those that don't know, associated with the Church of SMITF). So who knew, I always pictured a church called "in the Field" as being in the countryside, not the cultural center of one of the most urban or cities in the world.

    So hows that for meandering way off topic?

    Oh yeah, Internet fact checker finds:
    The Living Daylights (1987) is the fifteenth spy film in the James Bond series, ..... of classical music, as the main Bond girl, Kara Milovy, is a cellist. ... Milovy was played by Marayam d'Abo.
    The beautiful Czech cellist has the largest role yet for a Bond girl, accompanying Bond for most of the film. She posed as a KGB sniper for her boyfriend Koskov, but he betrays her and Bond wins her over, arriving to see her fulfill her life's ambition of playing in Vienna at the end of the film. Maryam d'Abo shared some great chemistry with Timothy Dalton, and the two became the most believable Bond pair for some time.

    Factoid: Kara Milovy (Maryam d'Abo)
    Perhaps the classiest of all Bond's conquests, Kara is a full-time cellist and a part-time sniper. She is also one of the few people to have been shot by 007 and lived to tell the tale.
