Miss Moneypenny, is a fictional character in the James Bond novels and films. She is secretary to M, who is Bond's boss and head of the British Secret Service (MI6). Although she has a small part in the films, it is always highlighted by the underscored romantic tension between her and Bond (something that is virtually nonexistent in Ian Fleming's novels, though somewhat more apparent in the Bond novels of John Gardner and Raymond Benson). On that note, she is not always considered to be a Bond girl, having never had anything more than a professional relationship with Bond, to her dismay.
Although not given a first name by Fleming, the character was given the name Jane in the spin-off series of books, The Moneypenny Diaries; she was subsequently named Eve in the twenty-third Eon Productions Bond film Skyfall, where the character spent time as a field agent before becoming secretary to M. According to the film You Only Live Twice, she holds the rank of Second Officer in the Women's Royal Naval Service.
