Solange Dimitrios is a fictional character from Ian Fleming's James Bond short story "007 in New York".

[edit] Short story biography
Due to its brief length, the original "007 in New York" short story reveals next to nothing about Solange's background, other than her relationship with Bond.
Bond also fantasizes about meeting a girl that he would call "Solange" in the short story "From a View to a Kill".
[edit] Film biography
Solange Dimitrios is the first Bond girl in the 2006 film adaptation Casino Royale. She is the lonely wife of Alex Dimitrios, a petty criminal working with the film's villain, Le Chiffre. After riding her horse along the beach front, she notices Bond emerging from the sea and is instantly attracted to him.
That evening, Solange arrives at a poker game where her husband plays against Bond; she affectionately kisses her husband, who reacts with his usual coldness. Bond soundly defeats her husband, even winning his car, an Aston Martin DB5. When Solange mistakenly gets into the Aston Martin, Bond invites her for a drink. She accepts, and the two are soon kissing passionately in Bond's hotel room. They ultimately have sex, but their interlude is interrupted by a telephone call by Dimitrios, who tells Solange that he is flying to Miami that night. Bond instantly realizes that Dimitrios is going to help Le Chiffre destroy a Skyfleet prototype aircraft at Miami International Airport. As Solange heads to the bathroom, Bond makes a quick exit to pursue him.
When the bomb plot goes awry, Le Chiffre suspects that Solange leaked information. He has his men torture and kill her, leaving her wrapped in a hammock with a stomach full of oil to be found by Bond and M.
