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.

FRED GOLDBERG
UA/MGM Marketing Executive for 10 Bond films between 1962-1977
 
I was very fortunate to meet the former marketing and distribution executive at United Artists, Fred Goldberg, in New York during the James Bond symposium at Hofstra University in Long Island in November 2007.
Mr Goldberg had not actually been announced as a guest speaker at the event but after reading an article in Newsday he simply called the university and asked if he could come as he lived nearby.
I imagine it must have been a wonderful experience for him to come and share his memories from the Bond films as he has had a long career in the film business spanning many years. For many years Mr Goldberg worked very closely with Jerry Juroe from EON Productions.

He gave an informative view on the marketing of a James Bond film and even brought his friend and long-time collaborator Paul Crifo with him. Together they managed to thrill an exciting audience for 20 minutes although I think they could have gone on much longer…

Mr Goldberg seemed very friendly and kind, it was certainly wonderful to be able to meet and chat with him. He mentioned to me that he had been involved in the promotion of the film ‘Persona’ in 1966, directed by the late Swedish genius Ingmar Bergman.

Many thanks for a wonderful and interesting speech, Fred. You gave my experience added value and made my New York stay even more memorable!

NOTE:
United Artists is now owned by Tom Cruise and partner Paula Wagner.
