... turns 50 this week. The film franchise that is. The character of James Bond is a bit older; he was created by Ian Fleming in 1953 and in Fleming's mind he looked like this ... The first Bond film, Dr. No, opened in 1962 with - in my opinion the best Bond - Sean Connery as agent 007. Connery would go on to play Bond in 6 films between 1962 and 1971. I think the wedding ring was a huge oversight or perhaps Sir Sean wouldn't take it off? talk about aging gracefully Although I preferred him as 'The Saint', Roger Moore was a fine Bond. He played the character in 7 films between 1973 and 1985. from the little known film 'Octo-Piggy'? Timothy Dalton played James Bond twice in 1987 and 1989. I think Pierce Brosnan got better looking as he got older ... Brosnan played Bond in 4 films between 1995 and 2002 In 2006 Daniel Craig became the current Bond. He has starred in 2 films with the third, Skyfall, scheduled to open next month. There are 2 women who are constants throughout the Bond films ... Miss Moneypenny - first portrayed by Lois Maxwell M - the head of all the 00's, played by the magnificent Judi Dench And then there are the girls. Bond girls. Tons and tons of Bond girls. My favorite women who played a Bond Girl are ... The very first Bond girl - Ursula Andress Jill St. John Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore How delicious is that character name!? I could never understand why Halle Berry chose to be a Bond Girl. She certainly doesn't need any assurance that she can play sexy and she had just won the Oscar for 'Monster's Ball' You gotta love a bikini that comes with weapons If you'd like to see some of the top Bond Villians just click the link. So there you have it. Are you a Bond fan? Who are your favorites? I had a bizarre dream while researching this post that Justin Bieber became the next Bond. Scared the hell out of me!
