Remember These Female Action Heroes? Here’s What They Look Like Today

In A View to a Kill (1985), Grace Jones played May Day — a deadly, magnetic assassin working for the film’s villain. With her fierce energy, sculpted physique, and unpredictable nature, she stole scenes from Bond himself. May Day was both terrifying and mesmerizing, unlike any Bond character before her.

At the time, Grace Jones was already an international music and fashion icon. Known for her androgynous style, avant-garde persona, and powerful stage presence, she had conquered the art and club scenes. Acting was a natural next step, and her bold performance in A View to a Kill made her unforgettable.
