Feel free to update this listing!
Btw here's some rare reels containing the title shoots for Goldeneye:

It would be great if someone can find those lost reels!
Comments
For updates I suggest you edit your original post to keep the list complete, using the little gear icon upper right.
You could consider DAD and the performer known as Sarilya/Sarllya Tyi/Tymarah for the Scorpion Guard that transitions from the film to the titles.
PS. OHMSS??
LTK where you mention Diane Lee-Hsu, she has among the clearest (and surely most total number of) appearances in the titles shown below in addition to your descriptions of dancing, etc. And appears in the film as character Loti: SHE'S HONG KONG NARCOTICS!
TMWTGG: also for consideration, Wei Wei Wong is uncredited but reportedly appears in the titles opening, then after. Plus as the Bottoms Up Girl in the film.
What I want to know is : Who's the gymnast ? Because she certainly has talent (and her inclusion was probably due to the 1976 Olympics where Nadia Comaneci brought gymnastics on the forefront.
Oh, and CR '06 has one woman : Eva Green, as the queen of hearts. Blink and you'll miss her.
Sylvana Henriques. Looking it up, as stated she appears in the YOLT titles (Japanese Fan Dancer, silhouette) and also in OHMSS (as The Jamaican Girl). Successful model of the day with credits in Kaleidoscope, Deadlier Than the Male. Active at Bond-related gatherings as happen at Piz Gloria.
IMDb also suggests: Kiyomi Kobayashi (as Title Geisha).
SP: Ellen Claire Sutherland for Eyes in Title Sequence, according to IMDb.

Through my friendship with a Personal Appearance Agent-who is in contact with nearly all of them-and through publications, the press, and interviews, I'll continue updating the list of other Bond movies featuring the models who appear. I've gathered more information.
Are there any of the names of any who have played Bond when it’s not been the main actor? I know it’s Eddie Kid in GoldenEye, but there might be a few more, like the kid Bond in Skyfall.
Was it ever actually confirmed if it was a kid or just a younger Craig in the SF PTS? Pretty sure it was from a QOS publicity photo that was reused… but I do remember the last time this was a discussion on here, haha. Am kinda curious though.
Apart from Eddie Kid I’m not aware of any other Bond doubles. But I remember getting the Eddie Kidd fact here: https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/goldeneye/
There’s a few other Bond films that have similar interviews/credits, although the credits are a bit minimal. Can’t think of any title sequence that visibly don’t have the main actor though if they include Bond (I know for instance Craig did a whole shoot for the SF one and generally they seem to feature the actor. Maybe CR used doubles to design their graphic renditions of Bond fighting etc? Don’t know…)
Well it’s Bond as a child (the first one) so it won’t be Craig. Plus they’d have to shoot him in pretty much macro for the eye closeup, as well as very particular lighting, so it’s not a recycled shot. The later shot of Craig in the same spot I think Kleinman said they filmed a bit too close so had to expand the shot digitally so you saw more of his face.
Yeah, I remember reading that. This one they did work on, and you can sort of tell:
But this one:
I always presumed was a very zoomed in, softened, and recoloured image of this or another snap from the same shoot. I think it'd be possible to zoom in on it even that much, but the fact that the skin looks so smoothed out/touched (and the fact that it looks so similar) gives me that impression. Plus they do make it look a bit blurry. But obviously I don't know for sure.
Sorry, rubbish quality for the last picture as well.
I do remember this being quite frustrating because there seemed to be very little information on it (even in Kleinman interviews). I actually remember messaging an old co-worker who worked at Framestore about this I was that interested! But I don't think there's ever been a credit to any 14 year old, and generally the credits for later title sequences are well recorded.
But I really don't know for sure one way or the other.
* Vicki Rebecca aka Vicki Scott: the glamour model appeared as a jumping silhouette.
* Leslie Bevis: captured in close-up shots and illuminated by blue lighting.
Bear in mind the kid does move in it: his eye opens wider as if he's seeing something horrible, so I don't think it's just a static photo. And me it just doesn't look like Craig: when you put the two together like that, everything is a different shape.
Nice work!
For what it's worth my impression is the eyebrow only starts moving once it gets quite close to the eye. Otherwise it looks like a still image. Personally, I think it looks almost exactly like that picture of Craig! (Like, even the shadows of the lighting match up, and it even looks like they've composed the crack his face is within to accommodate that. It's just been softened and recoloured quite extensively to make him look younger, although it does genuinely look good. You even see the sweep of Craig's left eyebrow which he does have). The last image of an older Craig's definitely a still as well, so I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Again, it's a bit annoying because there's so much stuff about these titles and this very particular point is never quite made clear! It's cool reading into the process though. Whenever Kleinman references that bit of the titles it's a bit unclear, and just from this quote you can probably argue either:
"There was a bit of a stumble over Daniel Craig's eyes at the end of the sequence, which were meant to be a reprise of his young eyes from earlier on."
To me it's interesting he refers to them as Craig's younger eyes, not Bond's. Again, unclear, but to me that implies they're both Craig's eyes. But like I said it can go both ways.
Anyway, not trying to restart the debate as such, I'm more curious as to what they actually did. Maybe it deserves its own thread (actually I think that'd be cool if anyone here has specific VFX experience they can chip in with - it's not my area in Post Production frankly and it'd be interesting to hear from people with a bit more knowledge). Or maybe it'll forever be one of those great Bond mysteries fans debate, haha.
Yes, I think you're right: my guess would be that it's likely two static shots- there's the wide shot and then when we get in closer to the eye I think they've probably shot that much closer with a different lens which allows for an extreme close-up, and they've stitched the two together digitally with a virtual camera zoom; so the wide shot probably is a still, and then the close-up of the eye is that bit of footage of him moving, as you say.
Yeah I think as you say, it can go both ways.
Yeah it would be interesting. If it is a child model then he's probably the most significant person to have played Bond in the movies apart from the main six actors! :)
Well, I suppose there's also Bob Simmons and Eddie Kid which wouldn't be dissimilar. I guess SP shows Bond as a young kid in a photograph too (although I'm pretty sure they just stuck an old photograph of a very young Craig's face onto that).
Anyway, I'll do a quick thread and see what people have to say about it. Could be interesting or could just be confusing, haha.
It's a little known fact that the Walther PP returns in the AVTAK title sequence (Grace Jones suddenly plays on the radio as I type this) - do we have an identity for the girl who holds the blue Walther PP in this sequence, or is it one of the girls already mentioned?
I will update the description based on the new findings so far.
