James Bond film actors and behind the scenes crew

This section of FSWL is kind of personal as it features photos and stories from meeting and talking to the people who have contributed to the success of the James Bond 007 phenomenon. In most cases very friendly and down-to-earth people. Currently 260 names listed.

The list consist of actors, actresses, assistant directors, camera operators, cinematographers, composers, costume designers, directors, editors, executive producers, location managers, lyrics writers, marketing executives, music artists, production assistants, production controllers, production designers, production managers, production secretaries, publicists, script supervisors, screenwriters, special effects wizards, stunt coordinators and several stuntmen.

The section also includes meetings with official James Bond authors.

LEWIS GILBERT
Director of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE 1967, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME 1977 and MOONRAKER 1979
 
Over the years, I have been lucky to meet Lewis Gilbert many times. Mr Gilbert is a dear and funny man, still going strong.

One of the times I saw him was during his on-stage interview at NFT in London on May 2, 2009. The session was entitled "MOONRAKER + Lewis Gilbert in Conversation" and part of the centenary celebrations of Cubby Broccoli's birth.

For Your Eyes Only (1981) had been announced as the next Bond film in the closing credits of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), but with the success of sci-fi hits Star Wars and Close Encounters, Broccoli instead decided to produce Moonraker (1979) in which Bond blasts off into space aboard a shuttle. Michael Lonsdale is compelling as megalomaniac villain "Hugo Drax" and Bernard Lee makes his last appearance as "M".
