Bond stars back stage

I saw a post which pointed out that Topol was at an event recently. Some stars don't seem to wish to attend autograph events however may be approachable when appearing in a play or book signing event etc. To search all plays and appearences etc for a Bond star is so difficult, I know I nearly missed out on Roger Moore recently! Anyway perhaps if we could start posting events that stars are attending and maybe successes on getting back stage autographs?

    I don't think that's a bad idea. I much prefer to meet the stars in person than to buy their autographs.

    Fantastic pointers. Exactly what I want (and maybe others too). Most of these stars you mention won't attend an autograph show, however if there's a chance, it's worth a try to get those in person autographs.

    I tried to get Grace Jones last week but she wasn't for signing.

    Bummer!

    For those lucky fans in the UK, Anthony Waye (producer & assistant director on 11 Bonds) will give a talk SHAKEN NOT STIRRED==TALES OF A BOND PRODUCER at Adams Park in High Wycombe, Bucks. on Thursday, March 26. It's a worthwhile charity event as well.

    Paul, check my link above, the showings are pretty much the same as yours stated.

    Success! Thanks DOUBLE-00 for your pointers and encouragement. I got Judi Dench and Rosamund Pike this weekend. I even popped over to the BFI on Southbank and managed to get Lewis Gilbert's too. I did try for Jonathan Pryce's however as Rosamund turned up so late (and only signed 1 autograph - mine [phew]) I was too late for him (get him in Liverpool).
    Rowan Atkinson is in Oliver however is apparently not signing anything but Oliver items? (unsure how true).
    Anyway Judi Dench was fantastic - so quiet, nice, patient and seemed to have all the time for us fans. Another collector there said there seemed like 50 people one night and she made sure she signed everyone. If you want an almost certain autograph of Judi (in my book, although not that experienced with all this yet) get down to the Wyndham theatre back door around 2 hours before. If you're lucky you may get a bonus Rosamund too!
