[edit] Film Biography
Octopussy is a mysterious jewel smuggler who, along with Afghan exiled prince Kamal Khan and Russian General Orlov, are stealing art from the Kremlin in order to sell it in the west. Magda seems to be Octopussy's right hand and her most trusted partner in the cult. Magda is first seen at the auction of the Fabergé egg named "Property of a Lady" with Kamal Khan. Bond notices her by saying "Now there is a lady". Magda informs Khan of the missing copy they've lost and thus Khan has to bid for his own egg in order to return it to the Russian vaults and uncover their operation. Bond and MI6 art assesor bid against them, replacing the (real) egg with the copy missing by Kamal, which was retrieved by agent 009 a the cost of his life. Finally, Bond allows them to have the jewel, after having augmented its price considerably. In the switching, Bond manages to steal the authentic egg. Later when Bond is in an Indian casino, Magda talks with Bond, Bond offering her a drink which she's says no. After it becomes clear that Bond has the egg, Magda is sent to seduce Bond to get the egg. Bond allows this so he can follow the egg. At the Monsoon Palace, Magda witnesses Bond escaping but does not tell. Later Magda is seen at the Octopussy circus as a performer. At the end of the film she helps Octopussy get to Kamal Khan and is grateful to Q that he saved her and a few others life.
