The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia presents This Day in James Bond Movie History - commemorating many milestones. First, let’s wish Lashana Lynch of the latest film No Time To Die (2021) a Happy Birthday.
Swatched in secrecy,
Lashana Lynch's character is identified as an MI6 operative who may be carrying the 007 prefix because James Bond (
Daniel Craig) has retired. Still photos from the set show that she is definitely knee deep in the action.
Let’s also wish
Samantha Bond a Happy Birthday. Samantha was Miss Moneypenny during the
Pierce Brosnan era (1995–2002). Of course, an actress with that last name was bound to be recruited into the 007 universe.
November 27th also wrote a final chapter for a number of Bond veterans.
