Solitaire (James Bond)
Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOL : Solitaire (James Bond)
Solitaire played by Jane Seymour is the main Bond Girl in the James Bond novel and film Live and Let Die.
As Bond travels to New York by plane, Solitaire describes his journey to Dr. Kananga through the use of Tarot cards.
After Bond follows Kananga to the Fillet of Soul restaurant, he meets Solitaire. After a rather brief encounter with Mr. Big, before he is 'wasted' Bond asks Solitaire about his future. When instructed to pick up a card Bond quizzically comments "us?” after picking up the lovers card.
When Bond and Rosie Carver visit San Monique, Solitaire tells Kananga the future, once more picking the lovers card in regard to Bond. Later that evening Bond returns to the island. After convincing Solitaire they are meant to be lovers, with odds stacked in his favour, Bond succeeds in seducing Solitaire. Bond discovers Kananga is hiding vast areas of poppy fields. Bond and Solitaire evade Kanangas men, escaping in Quarrel Jrs boat.
After arriving in New Orleans, Bond and Solitaire are captured and taken to Mr Big. Before Bond can be given his skydiving lesson without a parachute, he manages to escape. Solitaire is recaptured by Kanangas henchmen and taken back to him.
Later, Felix informs Bond that after a raid on the Fillet of Soul, Kananga has taken Solitaire back to San Monique, leaving three Tarot cards; the high priestess, the moon and death. After travelling to San Monique, Bond manages to rescue Solitaire and kill Kananga whilst Quarrel Jr. destroys the poppy fields.
