*Pamela "Pam" Bouvier is a fictional former United States army pilot and CIA informant. The character appears as the main Bond girl in the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill, portrayed by Carey Lowell and was also featured in John Gardner's accompanying novelization. Lowell later reprised the role for the 2012 video-game 007 Legends.

Pam Bouvier is a former United States Air Force (USAF) fighter pilot turned Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) informant who collaborates with DEA agent Felix Leiter to arrest and convict Franz Sanchez, a powerful Central American drug trafficker. Because she has vital information about the ruthless smuggler and his notorious associates, she has become a target of his cartel, remaining Leiter's only living contact. While still employed by the CIA, Bouvier pretended to have resigned from the agency to sell her services as a pilot to Sanchez's associates on his mission. James Bond first witnesses Bouvier talking to Leiter at the reception of his wedding, but she leaves before Bond can speak with her.

Leiter was thrown into a Shark Tank by Sanchez and Bond throws Ed Killifer in the same tank, resulting in Bond being fired from MI6. After Bond steals $5 million from Milton Krest, he sneaks into Leiter's office to find he had set a meeting at the Barrelhead Bar in Bimini[1], Bouvier was disappointed in seeing Bond but soon trusts him. When Dario soon comes into the bar, she asks Bond if he has a gun, after seeing his Walther PPK, she shows him a Mossberg 500 Cruiser which she soon uses to blast a hole in a wall before escaping on Bond's boat. She is soon shot by Dario, but is luckily unharmed because she wore a Kevlar vest. They escape and have implied sex. She agrees to help Bond track down Sanchez, playing herself off as Bond's executive secretary while he infiltrates Sanchez's operations. The pair stay at the Hotel Mary Tierra, before travelling to the Casino de Isthmus, where Bond and Bouiver gambled in order to get Sanchez's attention. At the same time, she meets Colonel Heller to set up a deal granting him immunity if Sanchez is arrested.

Bouvier, with the assistance of Q, follows Bond and Sanchez to the Olympatec Meditation Institute, where Sanchez has taken Bond. Bouvier has made her way to the OMI by disguising herself as a student, she steals a key from Professor Joe Butcher and sneaks into the distribution centre where she shoots Dario and helps destroy Sanchez's drug convoy.

After dealing with Sanchez, Bouvier and Q go to a party with Bond at the drug lord's former residence. Bouvier sees Lupe Lamora and Bond kiss. Bouvier, always jealous of Lupe, runs down the stairs to the pool. Bond sees this, Lupe insists he stay with her. Bond, not wanting to break her heart, sets her up with a date with the president Hector Lopez, he leaps off the balcony into the pool. He pulls Bouvier in the pool and they kiss.

Pam Bouvier is an experienced operative, accustomed to the murky environments of South American drug traffickers. She is also a woman of character who is rebellious, adventurous, fearless, intelligent and a bit of a tomboy, not afraid to assert herself in front of her enemies or her male colleagues like Bond in a haughty and sometimes contemptuous manner. Despite her affiliation with the CIA, Pam is an independent person who does not appreciate being subjected to the sexism of her partners. Although she can be naive and sensitive in certain situations, the former pilot is by no means a fragile woman and is fully capable of surviving in hostile environments, conducting her operations successfully and handling almost any situation.*
