Solitaire: The Bond Girl From Live And Let Die
James Bond initial encounters Solitaire whilebeing interrogated by Mr Big in Live And Let Die, the second of the James Bond books. Originating fromHaiti, she was introduced to voodoo as a child and was believed to have extrasensory powers.
Actuallyher only reason for being there during the interrogation is to divine whether James Bond is telling the truth. As well as sensing whether people are telling the truth, she can also see into the future, and in fact decides to help 007 when she divines that he will rescue her from Mr Big.
Solitaire's real name turns out to be Simone Latrelle, having received her nickname whilst still in Haiti because she avoided thesleeping with the locals. When Bond gets back to his New York hotel he receives a message from her, which surprises him; they travel down to St Petersburg together by train, narrowly avoiding being machine gunned in their cabin.
Jane Seymour played the character in the movie version and while the film varied considerable from the plot of the book - most of Roger Moore's films were very different from the James Bond books - Solitaire remained quite close to the original. However, the reason for her avoiding men was underlined; From there on she must pretend to Mr Big that her powers still existrs would only remain while she was a virgin}.
While in the book she doesn't sleep with Bond, although it seems likely she will at the end of the book when they are on leave together, in the film she succumbs to James Bond's charm. From that point on she must fake her powers in front of Mr Big, who, since he is only employing her because she is psychic, would kill her if he found out.
The truth is she is tricked by Bond - he behaves in a manner which is quite unlike the English gentleman he claims to be in fact. When he offers her a pack of tarot cards she picks Lovers. It is only the audience that see that she has selected the card from a loaded pack; all the cards are the same.
