Two of the most famous Bond girls open up about working with the late Sean Connery. The film franchise James Bond is turning 60 this year and it is truly inspiring to look back on all of the wonderful films made over the years. Sean is a fan favorite Bond and was popular on set with the ladies as well.
Ursula Andress played Honey Rider in Dr. No. She’s now 86 years old and her son, Dimitri Hamlin, opened up about her mom feels about the film. He said, “Overall she feels very lucky. Lucky about how she was able to meet and get to know such good people as Sean, Ian Fleming and [director] Terence Young. And how she is very grateful to have been surrounded by such creative and fun people for so long.”
He added, “She also feels very lucky that the public liked her and that the franchise was a success. And she feels like for her, Sean was the best Bond.” Another popular Bond girl was Lana Wood, who is now 76 years old. She appeared in the 1971 film Diamonds are Forever.
Lana now tells a story about how nervous she was on set around Sean because they were actually seeing each other in real life. She recalled, “On the day we were to shoot the scene in the hotel room, I was a nervous wreck. The wardrobe lady said to wait a minute, and she brought me a shot of blackberry brandy. I drank it quickly but didn’t know if it helped.”
“The director was nice enough to clear the entire room including sound,” she continued. “Sound was set up in the hallway, and it was only necessary crew. Camera operator, director and wardrobe holding a robe for me. Sean and I moved close, and he unzipped my dress. It fell around my feet. We were then supposed to go into a passionate kiss, and I was so nervous that it would give away the fact we were having an affair… I barely touched his mouth!”
There have been six actors playing Bond over the years and soon there will be a new one. Rumors are swirling that it may be a woman or a person of color. Who would you like to see as the next Bond?
