Film biography

Sutton was the granddaughter of an oil tycoon in California. Sutton oil was taken over by billionaire Max Zorin, who gave Sutton a check for $5,000,000 for her shares in the company, although she never cashed it. After losing the company to Zorin, she became a geologist for the state of California. James Bond eventually discovered that Zorin was pumping sea water into oil wells to flood the Hayward and San Andreas faults in order to create a double earthquake that would submerge Silicon Valley. He and Sutton teamed up to stop Zorin from destroying Silicon Valley.

In an attempt to prevent Zorin's scheme, the pair infiltrate one of Zorin's mines. Zorin succeeds in detonating explosives which drain the lake above and cause the mine to flood. Most of Zorin's own men and women don't survive, but Sutton luckily escapes the rising waters. Enraged at Zorin's betrayal, May Day helps Bond foil her former lover's plans by moving the primary explosive device out of the mine shaft. His plan ruined, Zorin and his entourage attempt to escape by airship - taking a newly kidnapped Sutton with them.

Grabbing hold of the airship's mooring rope, Bond takes to the air, eventually managing to snag the airship on the Golden Gate Bridge. As Bond and Zorin fight on the bridge itself, Sutton knocks out Scarpine and takes care of Hans Glaub. Watching Zorin fall to his death, Sutton leaves the airship and reunites with Bond on top of the bridge. However, Glaub regains consciousness and attempts to avenge Zorin's death by trying to kill the couple with a stick of dynamite. His plan backfires however, after Bond cuts the mooring rope causing the blimp to violently jerk away from the bridge. Glaub drops the dynamite and in the confusion both he and Scarpine are unable to grab it before it detonates.

In the final sequence, attempting to discover the whereabouts of Bond, MI6 awkwardly find the couple showering together at her house.
