Tracy Bond is a fictional character in the James Bond film and novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service. To date she is the only Bond girl to officially marry secret agent Commander James Bond. In the film she was played by actress Diana Rigg.

Bio

Born Teresa Draco in 1943, she is the only child of Marc-Ange Draco. Marc-Ange is the head of "The Union Corse", a powerful international mafia crime syndicate. Teresa goes by "Tracy" because she feels "Teresa" is too grand.

She later married Italian Count Giulio di Vicenzo who during their marriage managed to get a hold of a large portion of her money before eventually leaving her. During this marriage Teresa had a child who later passed away due to spinal meningitis.

Due to her past Teresa became suicidal until she was saved one day by James Bond while attempting to drown herself in the sea. Her father, Marc-Ange, pleaded with Bond to continue to see Tracy claiming that their relationship had changed her for the better. Initially Bond refused, however, he later changed his mind when Marc-Ange offered his resources for anything Bond desired. Since the events of Thunderball and the demise of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., Bond had been hunting for Ernst Stavro Blofeld and at one point was willing to retire from MI6 because he felt the hunt was folly and that his services and abilities could be used better. Using Marc-Ange's resources, however, Bond was able to track Blofeld to Switzerland. In return Bond continued to see Tracy and eventually fell in love with her. They would later marry, however, during the same day Tracy was murdered in a drive by shooting by Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Irma Bunt in retaliation for Bond foiling their plans.

Film mentions

The follow up film, Diamonds Are Forever, shows James Bond tracking down Blofeld in the pre-title credits, but it is only assumed that Bond is doing so out of revenge for her death. She is never mentioned by name in the film.

Subsequent films also rarely mention Tracy or make reference to the fact that Bond was previously married.

• In The Spy Who Loved Me When Bond meets Anya Amasova in the Mujava she recites facts of his life, including that he had been married once and that his wife was killed. This seems to affect him.
• In For Your Eyes Only Bond stands at her grave before being attacked by Blofeld. It's actually in this sequence where Bond ultimately gets revenge for her murder.
• In Licence to Kill theres a small reference to the fact that Bond was previously married, but nothing else is really said on the matter.
