Mai Ling as Mei-Lei in ‘Goldfinger’.

Mei-Lei, played by Mai Ling in the film Goldfinger, is Auric Goldfinger’s Thai stewardess aboard his private jet. Like everything else Goldfinger “owns”, Mei-Lei is clothed completely in gold.

She first meets Bond when she tells him that his attaché case is damaged, and makes him a martini. Later, she tries unsuccessfully to spy on him as he cleans up and changes clothes, though she does not take an aggressive role against him.
