10. Lara Pulver
She may not be as well known as some of the other names on this list – unless you’re a Sherlock fan. If you count the 2010 television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as one of your fandoms, then Lara Pulver is very, very familiar to you, since she made a very, very memorable appearance as the show’s version of Irene Adler (who, in this particular adaptation, is actually a dominatrix known as “The Woman”).
With her version of Irene Adler, Pulver was unforgettable in the part, and her depiction was entirely believable as the one woman who has ever had the power to keep Sherlock Holmes on his toes. There was also something vaguely Bond-ish with the character. It could have been her ability to outsmart her opponents at every turn, or her seductive nature. There were some critics who thought she relied too heavily on her feminine wiles to get the best of Holmes. Whatever your opinion of her, she was able to get away from her enemies by the end of the episode – and that’s all you ever want to see from James Bond, isn’t it?
