Strawberry Fields is a character in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, and is portrayed by Gemma Arterton.

Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields.

Biography: Strawberry Fields is first seen at La Paz Airport with René Mathis and Bond. Sent by MI6, she tells Bond that he is under arrest, and that he must return on the next flight to Britain. She is seen booking a room in a run down hotel as a cover for their disguise as teachers on sabbatical. However, Bond refuses to stay there, saying “I’d rather sleep in a morgue.” Bond then takes them to a much fancier hotel, posing as teachers on sabbatical who won the lottery. She falls for his charms shortly after arriving and is seduced into bed with 007.

Afterwards, she is invited to Dominic Greene’s party with Bond and Mathis. Later at the party as Bond and Camille leave, Elvis runs after them until Fields trips Elvis up to allow them escape. Later, when Bond returns to the hotel and is confronted by M and other officials, he spots Fields’ dead body on the bed nude but covered with crude oil (her demise is a tribute to Jill Masterson’s death in Goldfinger). Upon the discovery, M comments that Fields only had a desk job and her duty was to collect reports and she did not deserve to die in this way. Bond mentions to M during his escape at the Hotel that Fields showed true bravery for her actions and wanted it mentioned in M’s report. Her first name is not shown until the end credits, and she refuses to divulge it to Bond.
