Caught In The Act
James Bond manages to get Paris, his former lover, into bed one last time. The location - his hotel room. The time - right after Mrs. Carver informed Bond she had made her bed, she was standing in his doorway. But as they say their final goodbyes, Paris knows she’s never going to escape the clutches of her murdering husband or assassins.

Profile
Teri Hatcher plays Paris Carver, the ex-lover of Agent 007. Wife of the worldwide media baron, Elliot Carver, Paris has a secret past which proves her undoing. In Tomorrow Never Dies, a relationship with her old flame, James Bond, leads to an untimely demise at the hands of Dr. Kaufman.

Her short role in the film leaves Mrs. Carver enough time to get Bond in the know about her husband’s activities before Elliott Carver turns her to the deadly hands of Dr. Kaufman, a “doctor of death”.
