Sophie Marceau - A Bond Girl
Elektra King is a fictional character in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, played by Sophie Marceau.
Elektra is the daughter of oil tycoon Sir Robert King, whose mother's side of the family is of Azeri descent and fled the country immediately after the Soviet Union was established. It is hinted that Elektra harbored some resentment toward her father, as Elektra's grandfather had no sons, Sir Robert became the de facto male heir when he married into the family. She was kidnapped as a teenager by the terrorist Renard, and her father refused to pay the ransom on the advice of family friend (and James Bond's boss) M. Embittered, she became Renard's lover and participated in his scheme to bilk money from her family (going so far as to mutilate her ear so Renard could send it to her father as a warning) but pretended to have been traumatized by the kidnapping (Bond thought she suffered from Stockholm syndrome, but may have been blinded by his affection for her.)
