Best and worst: Ursula Andrews was named Best Bond Girl ever for her role as Honey Ryder in Dr No, The World Is Not Enough star Denise Richards (right) was voted the worst ever
Richards, 36, won the accolade after she appeared as nuclear physicist Dr Christmas Jones who graced the screen in 1999 wearing an improbably uniform of hot pants and a cropped vest.
Dubbed a "disaster" by fans a reviewer commented: "Even Q didn't have a gadget to escape from that disaster."
Former Charlie's Angel Tanya Roberts was second in line for the dubious award for her portrayal of revenge seeking geoolgist Stacey Sutton in A View to A Kill in 1985.

Critics complained: "We forgot that Bond girls were supposed do be smart and sexy."
Meanwhile the original 007 girl Ursula Andress was named Best Bond Girl ever for her sexy debut as Honey Ryder in 1962's Dr No.
The poll said: "Her sultry walk out of the waves set the tone for every sexy strong Bond girl."
British actress and ex-Avengers star Honor Blackman claimed second place for her character Pussy Galore.
