Denise Richards has a curious distinction in the world of 007, but it's one she'd rather live without.
The 36-year-old actress was named the Worst Bond Girl Ever by fans, reports the UK's Daily Mail from an unscientific poll.
Richards played nuclear physicist Christmas Jones, a scientist with a penchant for midriff-baring tanktops and short shorts, in 1999's "The World Is Not Enough" opposite Pierce Brosnan playing the British super spy.
One fan commented, "Even Q didn't have a gadget to escape from that disaster."
The second most-hated Bond girl was former "Charlie's Angels" and "That '70s Show" actress Tanya Roberts who played geologist Stacey Sutton in 1985's "A View to a Kill."
The original Bond girl Ursula Andress was named the best for playing Honey Ryder in "Dr. No." Her emergence from the water is an iconic scene. Second in line for praise is ex-"Avengers" star Honor Blackman, who played the colorfully named Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger."
Blackman was noted for "introducing fans to the series' first real woman -- a gorgeous dame who can fly and plane and kick butt as well as coo and woo."
