Lara Pulver cast as ‘original’ Bond girl

Actress Lara Pulver is to star as a real-life Bond girl.

The 32-year-old, whose roles have included appearances in BBC1’s Spooks and Robin Hood, will portray the wife of 007 creator Ian Fleming. The life of the author is being dramatised in a four-part series – starring Dominic Cooper as the writer – being made for Sky Atlantic, to be screened later this year.
