    Alas, no: it was all down to polly-tics.

    In the GF commentary, when Guy Hamilton talks about filming the soldiers at Ft Knox he specifically mentions a sergeant there. There is an excellent possibility that the sergeant was my Dad.

    Art Garfunkel makes a cameo when Bond puts on Tchaikovsky.

    And let's not forget Anthony Dawson in FRWL & TB.

    Of course, there is always the cameo of all cameos:

    AA-OLD-MAN-3.jpg

    Opinions have varied over the years as to whether this is Ian Fleming or not. He was on the set:

    aa-old-man-4.jpg

    And wearing similar clothes, but it has never been confirmed.

    (I do realize that this breaks the rule of being associated with the production, but this one time surely must be counted.)

    Having looked at the figure standing the next to the railway with the benefit of blu-ray I'd say he looks nothing like Fleming. Also, the locomotive in the picture with Fleming is not the same one that appears in that scene in the movie, so very unlikely that the photo was taken on that day.

    Would you expand on that, QQ?

    In FRWL, Jacqueline (Mrs. Harry) Saltzman, is one of the passengers leaning out of an Orient Express window while stopped in a station. I’ve always regarded her along with Dana Broccoli as a matriarch of EON, like a dear old aunt, rhen I found out that she died at the young age of 50 in 1980 from cancer, younger at least than my own age!

    Photograph (above the mantlepiece) of Bernard Lee at MI6 Headquarters in Scotland - TWINE. Hardly a cameo I know but I thought I'd throw it out there.

  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,860Chief of Staff
    Mrs Saltzman doesn't count (see first post) otherwise we'd have to start listing MGW's frequent appearances, among others.
    Unsure re Lee.... ?:) Should this be included?
  • Mr SnowMr Snow Station "J" JamaicaPosts: 1,736MI6 Agent
    Re: Bernard Lee - I'd like to think so (mainly as I am a huge fan) but I can understand why if he's not included. I figured as Ian Fleming was thrown in to the mix then why not.

    I wouldn‘t include Lee in TWINE. Following this sense would mean having to include all the Bond girls in the title sequence of OHMSS or even the subtle pics of previous Bond girls used in TWINE/ DAD...
    The name is Walker by the way.

    Check it out, you won’t be disappointed :)

    Another few from Dr. No...

    Milton Reid, who played one of Dr. No's guards. He later reappeared as Sandor in The Spy Who Loved Me.

    And then Anthony Chinn, who played a character in the decontamination room, and then reappeared (also uncredited) in Goldfinger (waiter at the stud farm) and You Only Live Twice (Connery's rocket cigarette victim). He finally got a credit on his fourth attempt in AVTAK.

    Then there is Byron Lee in the nightclub scene. Is he credited?
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,860Chief of Staff
    Don't want to include Reid (who's in CR67 as well, btw) or Chinn, that's not what I was thinking of when I started this thread- hmm, perhaps Ed Bishop should be excluded as well.
    Byron Lee, of course.

    :p That was a serious suggestion by the way... Or do photos not make the (scissors) cut? ;) :D

    Not even if Kodachrome.... :#

    As discussed above re the painting of Bernard Lee, the line has to be... er.... drawn somewhere.
  • Quentin QuigleyQuentin Quigley Terminal One, Hamburg AirportPosts: 1,201MI6 Agent
    Okay, no photos then. How about...

    Les Tremayne, played an auctioneer in North By Northwest

    I know nothing of his work besides GF. I've only seen clips of NBNW and not the full film.
    Les Tremayne was a prolific character actor, playing everything from a general in The War of the Worlds to Mentor on Shazam! to an American Motors commercial. He also does the voiceover at the beginning of Forbidden Planet.

    André Marrane- SPECTRE #10 (Thunderball)
    Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

    " I don't listen to hip hop!"
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,860Chief of Staff
    Much as I like Marrane's work in the "Pink Panther" movies, I don't think he should make this list for the same reason I said above (post 51). I've removed Ed Bishop, too.
