Jenny Flex is a character in the James Bond film A View to a Kill, played by actress Alison Doody. Like many characters in the Bond Universe the name Jenny Flex is a pun – in this case genuflect.

Alison Doody as Jenny Flex.

Biography: Jenny Flex is one of two female henchmen to May Day, the other being Pan Ho. She is first seen in the film walking down the stairs to greet Bond at Max Zorin’s château.

Jenny Flex: “Welcome sir, I’m Jenny Flex”.
Bond: “Of course you are”.

After escorting Bond to his room and drawing the curtains, she informs him that the reception is at 6:00 and exits. She is seen at the party chatting with other guests.

Later in the film, when Sir Geoffrey Tibbett is going to get his car washed at the local BP garage so he can telephone M about 007′s discoveries, Flex and Pan Ho provide a distraction while Tibbett gets the car washed so May Day can murder him. She next is seen while Bond is being disposed of in the Rolls Royce.

When General Gogol and his men confront Zorin, his henchmen including Flex, May Day, Scarpine, and Pan Ho outgun them forcing them to leave. In City Hall, when Zorin has killed WG Howe, Flex appears in the doorway with gasoline canisters and begins to douse the carpeting so the building can be set aflame. After this, we see her in the car looking at the destruction she’s caused.

In the mine sequence, Flex hands Scarpine the tool which leads to her demise, the dynamite and then after Bond and Stacey Sutton are discovered, she chases them with May Day and Pan Ho. After being directed another way by May Day, Zorin decides to flood the fault before the personnel are evacuated much to Conley’s protests. While the carnage ensues, the film cuts to Flex and Pan Ho, who are about to be washed away by the oncoming floodwaters. Jenny’s dead body is later seen floating in the mine as May Day and Bond are escaping.
