Shady Tree's Acorn in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER 1971
FSWL contributors Andy Miller and Jürgen Hartmann met Jennifer Castle at Autographica in Birmingham in September 2013.
Andy said Jennifer was a very sweet lady and although honoured to be a member of the Bond family was the more shy of 'the Acorns'.
She recounted her time on
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and was thrilled to meet
Sean Connery and, like
Pat Gill, found it amazing that people wanted her autograph and a photo with her when she had such a small part in the film.
