Alison Doody

 After being noticed by the director of casting for a new James Bond movie, Doody agreed to play a minor role as Jenny Flex in 1985’s A View to a Kill. John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 12 listed Doody as one of the most promising New Actors in 1986. 38. At just 19 when she appeared in the role, Doody was - and is still the youngest Bond girl to have appeared in. Another film from the early days was a small role in which she played IRA member Siobhan Donovan in A Prayer for the Dying (1987) in which she featured Mickey Rourke.Doody had a non-speaking role in the 1987 version of The Secret Garden appearing as Archibald Craven's wife, Lilias in his fantasy. Her first leading role was in an episode in 1988 of the Jim Henson fantasy series The Storyteller as Sapsorrow in the role of Sapsorrow, alongside John Hurt, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.She was a co-star with Pierce Brosnan in the film Taffin (1988) before landing probably her most high-profile part to date, as Austrian Nazi-sympathiser and archaeologist Elsa Schneider in 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade playing opposite Harrison Ford. The film also starred Sean Connery as Indy's father; Doody has acted alongside three actors (Moore, Connery, and Brosnan) who played James Bond.
