[edit] Short story biography
Judy Havelock is the daughter of Colonel Timothy Havelock (Ret.) and Mrs. Havelock, whom are assassinated at the behest of Herr von Hammerstein by Major Gonzales because they refused to sell their Jamaican property to von Hammerstein. Because the Havelocks were friends with M, M asks Bond to go to Vermont where von Hammerstein and his men are hiding.

With only a bow and arrow, Judy is able to kill von Hammerstein from 100 yards by shooting him in the neck at the exact moment he dives into a lake.
[edit] Film biography
In the film, Melina Havelock is half Greek - half British. She is the only daughter of Iona and Sir Timothy Havelock, two operatives working for the British Secret Service. Their mission takes them to the coast of Albania and Greece to look for a sunken British spy ship that holds a piece of equipment known as ATAC (Automatic Targeting and Attack Communicator). Melina comes to visit them and witnesses their assassination by Hector Gonzales, a Cuban hitman.
Swearing revenge, Melina tracks Gonzales down to a villa outside of Madrid with the help of a private detective agency. There, she assassinates Gonzales, but is only able to escape with the help of James Bond who was also there to investigate Havelock's murder.
Melina finds trouble again in Cortina d'Ampezzo, when she was tricked into meeting Bond. Bond convinced her to go back to Greece and let him investigate. She agrees to do so, but not for long. Later they both team up to locate the British spy ship, recover the ATAC, and eliminate Aristotle Kristatos who had previously employed Gonzales to kill the Havelocks for him. Bond and Melina are aided in their mission by Milos Columbo a Greek smuggler who was set up by Kristatos as the villain because he knew too much about Kristatos' KGB leanings.
