Dr. Holly Goodhead is a fictional character from the James Bond franchise, portrayed by Lois Chiles. She does not appear in any of the novels, solely appearing in the film version of Moonraker. However, her character is somewhat similar to Gala Brand, who is the female lead character in the original novel version. Like some other Bond girls, her last name is a Double entendre with a sexual connotation.
Holly is a scientist and astronaut working undercover for the CIA, on Sir Hugo Drax's Moonraker 5 space shuttle to gather intelligence on Drax's plan to exterminate the human race. While working undercover in Drax's organization, Bond discovers her secret identity when he spots standard CIA gadgetry in her hotel room. While Bond and Holly are at first reluctant to work together, they do work well as a team towards the end of the film. In the closing of the film, Holly is unaware that her love making with Bond in the zero gravity shuttle is seen by the US and UK agents trying to contact them, much to the embarrassment of M. Also unknown to Holly is that she is the butt of Q's unintentional joke about Bond "attempting re-entry". Her final blissful line to Bond is "Take me around the world one more time?"
