I have this wierd question and I think you guys can help. According
to Microsoft's "Cinemania" Helen Hunt was a Bond Girl, Most likely in
"Octopussy", but according to "The Internet Movie Database" an actress
called "Helene Hunt" was a Bond Girl in "Octopussy", with Helen as a
different listing. I wonder if "Helene Hunt" and Helen Hunt are the same
person (I doubt it.) Helen is pretty enough to be in a Bond movie IMHO,
but the Bond Movie was done in 1983.

Helen Hunt aka Jamie Buchman was not in that or any other James Bond
movie -- in fact she explicitly 'denied' it in an interview two years
ago. As you've already noted, Helene Hunt is being confused with Helen
Hunt (and there has been more than one Helen Hunt as well),

They're not. And nor was Helen Hunt involved with the hair-dressing
chores on the "Caine Mutiny" in 1954 (at least as the Internet Movie
DB claims, I don't know about MS Cinemania), since she was born on
June 15, 1963.

Excuse me:
Maybe it's because I'm over forty and my memory fades in and
out on me....
I know 1983 is ancient history, but did the last existing
print of "Octopussy" perish in the fire of the Great Library of
Alexandria, along with the unknown works of Ptolemy, Hypatia
and Sophocles? Or was the script written in some language
forgotten by history, and untranslatable by contemporary
scholars?
It seems to me that if you're that curious about whether
Helen Hunt appears as a Bond Girl, then *watching the movie*
would not constitute such an intolerable research assingment.
Don't take me seriously, just ribbing you...

No, they are two different people. Helen hunt is a current film star, where as helene hunt (certainly today) is a bit of a glam granny. She was a speaker and presenter at a black tie awards a few years ago and she was rubbish. She would have booed off stage if it hadn't been for the fact she was an elderly woman
