International Man of Mystery

Trivia

• According to online fan polls, Vanessa is rated the sexiest Austin Powers girl.
• In one scene, it is hinted that Vanessa might be terrible in bed, but we later discover that she is actually quite adept in these matters.
• At the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me, it is hinted that Vannessa may have inherited her mother's skills in bed.
• Many Austin Powers fans have ranked each Powers girl in terms of sexual stamina, in these polls Vanessa was consistently voted #1 in the bedroom.
• Vanessa can be considered like a version of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) and Tracy Bond (Diana Rigg). Both Vanessa and Vesper are British secret agents and love interest of Austin Powers and James Bond, and both are killed. Also Vanessa studied at Oxford before becoming a spy.
• It is highly questioned how Vanessa can be a Fembot, as she has a mother and talks to her on the phone. However, Mrs. Kensington may also be a fembot, but this idea is shot down due to the fact that the Fembots were created 30 years later.
• It is speculated, although not confirmed, that Vanessa was at some point in the film was replaced with a Fembot doppelganger. However, fans of the films believe that Dr. Evil killed her but this is not seen in the first movie nor in deleted scenes.
