Bond Girls – Part 5
Monday, November 24th, 2014
It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it. So far I’ve share encounters with you of exactly fifteen “Bond-Girls,” that is those actresses who have portrayed a love interest of the iconic hero James Bond in one or more of the films in the James Bond series. Fifteen of them would be a feat in itself, but clearly I have no intention of stopping there, hence this fifth entry exploring another trio of these lovely gals, which span a year’s worth of collecting.

I had been nearing completion when I struck paydirt in the Fall of 2013 when I (nearly) completed my collection of Jason at two different events one week apart.

He was such an unassuming little old gentleman, just shy of 90 years of age in fact, that it was hard to believe that this was Ron Moody, who had played the villianous Fagin in the 1968 Oscar winning Best Picture Oliver! His former co-stars Mark Lester and Shani Wallis were sitting nearby, but I had already
