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.

MICHAEL BILLINGTON 1941-2005
Sergei in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME 1977
 
I had the genuine privilege of meeting the very Michael Billington at two occasions before his tragic death in June 2005, once in Birmingham and once during An afternoon with Richard Kiel at Pinewood Studios.

He always told me how proud he was as a father towards his very talented 15-year old football player who was playing for AC Milan in Italy.

Mr Billington stopped making films some years before his death but never forgot his fans as he ran a website in order to communicate with them.

I stayed in contact with him through e-mails over the years which I’m very grateful for in retrospect. I mean, Mr Billington could have played 007 as he tested for the role more than anyone has ever done.

As some may know, he were also the boyfriend to the current Bond producer, Barbara Broccoli, for some years and his connection to the Bond phenomenon will always be remembered among fans I think.

Thank you Michael, I will never forget you.
