Frau was a parody figure of many James Bond female villains (mostly Frau Hoffner from the 1967 Bond spoof Casino Royale). Her name is a play on the Yiddish word “farbissen” which is an angry, vocal woman.

Mindy Sterling, who played Frau, was so disgusted by Goldmember’s habits of eating skin that she frequently forgot her lines. She says that it was nearly impossible to look at Myers without wanting to laugh and/or vomit when he was in character.
