Red Grant (Robert Shaw)

## Donald Grant

**Red Grant** is an assassin working for SPECTRE who is the secondary antagonist of the film From Russia with Love. He was portrayed by actor Robert Shaw.

## Film biography

Red Grant, aka **Donald Grant**, works for SPECTRE and is assigned the task of assassinating James Bond to avenge the death of Dr. Julius No.

The pre-title sequence in From Russia with Love shows Bond and Grant searching for one another. In the end Grant kills Bond, before a mask is removed from "Bond's" face to reveal that the whole thing was a training mission for Grant.

Grant is described as being a homicidal maniac, who escaped from Dartmoor Prison (where he was presumably incarcerated for life) and was recruited by SPECTRE in Tangier, while on the run from the law. He has been intensively trained by the organisation and when not on a mission, he resides on SPECTRE Island.

Although it's Grant's mission to kill Bond, the early part of the film shows Grant taking on the role of Bond's protector to ensure Bond delivers (unknowingly) the Lektor encoding device into SPECTRE's hands. Grant is killed on the Orient Express when Bond outsmarts him with the use of Q-branch's attaché case, and strangles Grant with his own garotte.

## Video game appearance

In the video game based on the novel and film, Red Grant is the chief enforcer for the terrorist organization OCTOPUS. He has a female assistant named Eva. Grant does most of OCTOPUS' dirty work, but his primary mission is to kill 007 and acquire the Russian Lektor decoding device. He catches up with Bond on the Orient Express and attempts to kill him. Unlike the novel and film, he survives the confrontation unbeknownst to Bond. During the agent's final assault on OCTOPUS' island headquarters, he attacks Bond again, but this time is killed.
Orient Express

The **Orient Express** was the name of a long-distance passenger train service created in 1883 by Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL). The train appears in the James Bond film, From Russia with Love.

The route and rolling stock of the Orient Express changed many times. Several routes in the past concurrently used the Orient Express name, or slight variants thereof. Although the original Orient Express was simply a normal international railway service, the name has become synonymous with intrigue and luxury travel. The two city names most prominently associated with the Orient Express are Paris and Istanbul, the original endpoints of the timetabled service.[1]

The Orient Express was a showcase of luxury and comfort at a time when travelling was still rough and dangerous. CIWL soon developed a dense network of luxury trains all over Europe, whose names are still remembered today and associated with the art of luxury travel. Such as the Blue Train, the Golden Arrow, North Express and many more. CIWL became the first and most important modern multinational dedicated to transport, travel agency, hospitality with activities spreading from Europe to Asia and Africa.

In 1977, the Orient Express stopped serving Istanbul. Its immediate successor, a through overnight service from Paris to Vienna, ran for the last time from Paris on Friday, June 8, 2007.[2][3] After this, the route, still called the "Orient Express", was shortened to start from Strasbourg instead,[4] occasioned by the inauguration of the LGV Est which affords much shorter travel times from Paris to Strasbourg. The new curtailed service left Strasbourg at 22:20 daily, shortly after the arrival of a TGV from Paris, and was attached at Karlsruhe to the overnight sleeper service from Amsterdam to Vienna.

On 14 December 2009, the Orient Express ceased to operate and the route disappeared from European railway timetables, reportedly a "victim of high-speed trains and cut-rate airlines".[5] The Venice-Simplon Orient Express train, a private venture by Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. using original CIWL carriages from the 1920s and 30s, continues to run from London to Venice and to other destinations in Europe, including the original route from Paris to Istanbul.[6] In March 2014 Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. was renamed Belmond.

Unnamed Daughter

During the marriage of Tracy Bond & Count Giulio di Vicenzo, Tracy had a child, who later died of spinal meningitis. The name of this daughter is unknown. In the film, Marc-Ange Draco tells Bond the story of Tracy's past:

"She went off, without telling me, and married, perhaps with the idea of settling down. But the man, a worthless Italian called Vicenzo, Count Giulio di Vicenzo, took as much of her money as he could lay his hands on and deserted her, leaving her with a girl child. I purchased a divorce and bought a small chateau for my daughter in the Dordogne and installed her there, and for once, with the baby and a pretty garden to look after, she seemed almost at peace. And then, my friend, six months ago, the baby died - died of that most terrible of all children's ailments, spinal meningitis."
Paula Caplan

**Paula Caplan** was a fictional character in the James Bond film, Thunderball who aids Bond when in the Bahamas. She was played by Martine Beswick.

## Film biography

### Nassau

When Bond journeys to Nassau to make progress on the operation Thunderball, he is partnered with local Bahamian MI6 contact, the very young and beautiful Paula Caplan. Together they pose as a couple to first make contact with Domino Derval, the sister of François unaware of his recent death. Watching Bond flirt with Domino in the sea and feeling a little bit jealous, Caplan, only wearing a sexy bikini, plays him at his own game, flirting with him when he rejoins her on their boat.

Pretending that their motor has broke, Caplan offers to wait alone for the service boat while Bond gets a lift back to shore from Domino in her boat as he has an important meeting to attend. Bond and Caplan part ways while still undercover.

### Hotel Coral Harbour

After several days working in the MI6 bunker with Bond, Felix Leiter and fellow contact Pinder, Caplan plans to rendezvous at Bond’s hotel with the pictures taken from Emilio Largo’s boat.

Waiting for Bond with the photographs and seemingly dressed for a dinner date, Caplan is laying on a couch while smoking a cigarette and reading a magazine. She is surprised when Fiona Volpe arrives instead claiming to have a date that evening with Bond too. When a knock is heard in the connecting room, Caplan goes to fix her hair and open the door, expecting Bond, only to be shocked when henchmen working for Largo and Volpe barge in and hold her to the bed. The poor Paula tries to break free from the men but has no luck and is subsequently kidnapped by them and taken to Largo’s estate.

After Bond breaks into Largo’s estate, he finds Caplan dead; committing suicide so that she doesn't end up being tortured for information, plus leaking information.

## Trivia

Paula is unique as the only woman to have a relatively long-term role in Bond's life that he has never been hinted as being physically involved with (M, as his boss, naturally doesn't count). Sylvia Trench is also seen "off duty" with Bond in "Dr. No" in the opening scenes at the casino, and in the opening of "From Russia with Love" at a lakeside picnic date that gets interrupted by a call from MI6.

## Behind the scenes

Martine Beswick also played the part of Zora in From Russia with Love two years earlier.

## Trivia

* Puss-Feller's name comes from his background in the novel of *Dr. No* which was by wrestling off an octopus, as opposed to an alligator, leaving his naming in the film inconsistent.
Plenty O'Toole

**Plenty O'Toole** is Bond's opportunistic would-be girlfriend from the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. She was played by actress Lana Wood.

## Film biography

### Diamonds are Forever

Plenty O'Toole works the casino floor at the Whyte House Hotel, becoming acquainted with seemingly wealthy men hoping to earn a profit for assistance. When her recent target runs out of money, she dismisses his advances and walks away, her attention then being quickly grabbed by James Bond, posing as diamond smuggler Peter Franks. Walking over to him, she introduces herself and offers to help.

Working with Bond, O'Toole initially demonstrates her run of bad luck, losing him money. However she is soon impressed when Bond manages to win back his share, plus more. Overjoyed at being given $5,000 for her help, Plenty continues to latch on to Bond insisting they go for drinks. While seated for dinner Bond and Plenty become better acquainted, Bond still pretending to be Franks. When Plenty notices Bond eyeing up a woman playing a harp she is quick to suppose a retreat so she can thank him properly.

Arriving at Bond's hotel room, Plenty is quick to kiss him. After he unzips her dress she goes bathroom to prepare herself for the evening when she is suddenly manhandled by three thugs anticipating Bond's return.

The three goons throw Plenty, only clad in her panties, out of the hotel window into a swimming pool down below. Bond remarks at their accuracy saying it was an "exceptional shot". One of the men promptly tells Bond that he didn't even know there was a pool down there.

Later that evening, when Bond has fought off the men and begins seducing Tiffany Case, Plenty returns, soaked, with only a towel to protect her modesty. After finding Bond in bed with Tiffany, Plenty rummages through Case's bag where she finds her home address in Vegas.

The next morning, Plenty visits Tiffany's home—presumably to confront her rival for Bond's attentions, although her precise motivation is never revealed. Unfortunately for her, she encountersMr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, (who think she is Tiffany Case)  promptly murder her  by drowning her in the swimming pool, either because they mistake her for Tiffany or because they want to silence an inconvenient witness. The discovery of Plenty's body becomes a major factor in winning Tiffany over to Bond's side.

## Behind the Scenes

Lana Wood was cast as Plenty O'Toole following a suggestion of screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz. While filming the scene of finding Plenty O´Toole drowned in Tiffany's swimming pool, Wood actually had her feet loosely tied to a cement block on the bottom. Film crew members held a rope across the pool for her, with which she could lift her face out of the water to breathe between takes. The pool's sloping bottom made the block slip into deeper water with each take. Eventually, she was submerged but was noticed by on-lookers and rescued before drowning for real. Wood, being a certified diver, took some water but remained calm during the ordeal, although she later admitted to a few "very uncomfortable moments and quite some struggling until they pulled me out."
Tiffany Case (Jill St. John)

## Tiffany Case

**Tiffany Case** is an American diamond smuggler in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. In the film she was portrayed by American actress Jill St. John. Tiffany is portrayed as wise-cracking, somewhat ditzy, slightly naïve, and more money-grubbing than her literary equivalent.

## Film biography

The 1971 film adaptation of Diamonds Are Forever substantially revised the plot and, with it, Tiffany's character. While she is still a diamond smuggler, she is now unwittingly working for Bond's archnemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and his terrorist organization, SPECTRE. Tiffany says that she was named after her (accidental) birthplace, Tiffany & Co., where her parents were going through a choice of wedding bands, to which Bond dryly joked that she was lucky that it hadn't happened at Van Cleef & Arpels.

First meeting her in Amsterdam, James Bond arranges a partnership with her in disguise, but this time it is to investigate her role in Blofeld's latest criminal scheme. She initially believes that she and her partner are going to make millions, but gets caught up in much more than she bargained for when the real Peter Franks arrives on her doorstep. The pair then travel to the United States for the next step in the smuggling operation.

Eventually Tiffany reneges on her deal and flees, passing off the diamonds to the next SPECTRE smuggler. Later she changes her mind again after she and Bond find Plenty O'Toole soaking in Tiffany's swimming pool, drowned mistakenly in her stead by Blofeld's hit men. Tiffany continues to help Bond follow the path of the smuggled diamonds until the trail leads to Blofeld on an oil rig.

By the end of the film, Tiffany has helped Bond defeat Blofeld, and the two go on a romantic cruise together. They are briefly interrupted by an assassination attempt by Blofeld's henchmen, Mr. Wint and Kidd, but Bond foils it, and the two sail off into the sunset.

It is also noteworthy that Case must have had some sort of knowledge of Bond prior to actually meeting him as when Bond kills Peter Franks while himself still pretending to be Peter Franks, Case picks up Bond's ID which Franks has and comments that "You don't kill James Bond and just wait for the cops to show up".
Vavra

**Vavra** was the head of a tribe of Gypsies that lived in a camp in the outskirts of Istanbul, Turkey. He spied on the Bulgars, reporting information back to his old friend Kerim Bey and he occasionally gave him information about the Russians and the Bulgars. Vavra appears in the 1963 movie From Russia with Love and he is portrayed by Francis De Wolff.

## Film biography

Bond and Kerim were invited to dinner at the camp, where two girls were to fight to death over the love of a man. The fight was interrupted, and Bond managed to save Vavra's life, gaining his upmost respect and gratitude.

## Trivia

* Vavra knew very little English, and constantly replied to Bond saying "Thank you!, Thank you!".

Cain".

Cain was married three times and had eight children, three have excelled in the design industry; Maurice Cain as production designer in film and TV, Anthony Cain in illustration, and Leigh Cain in exhibition design.

In 2002 Cain wrote his autobiography "Not Forgetting James Bond" in which he lay down memories of working with hundreds of film directors, actors and crew, and also his interesting sporting family history. HIs father Tom Cain was an all round athlete who played professional football for Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur, and encouraged Fred Perry to switch from playing football to tennis and actually coached him for a while.

Rafe Aznar

**Rafe Aznar** was a fictional powerful terrorist and former Black Wasp soldier.

## Biography

### Background

Rafe Aznar was born to a family of anti-communist dissidents in Cuba. At some point in the story, he relates a childhood story to a captive James Bond, describing how he spent his youth in the travelling circus of his father as a trick shot, and how he also cared for one of the circus elephants. When the elephant went on a rampage, he witnessed a local man kill him, and the enraged boy retaliated by killing him with a single shot. He utilises the image of the killing of the elephant as a metaphor for what governments do to their people - namely himself. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Cuban economy crumbled and protests erupted in Havana, thousands of Cubans poured into the streets demanding freedom and the overthrow of Fidel Castro. His family planned for them to flee the island by boarding a makeshift raft bound for the US, although shortly after leaving Cuba's coast, the boat sank and government vessels provided very limited assistance, causing his parents to drown. Traumatised, the young boy withdrew from society, resorted to living in the basement of an orphanage outside school hours and deeply embedded himself in the world of hobby electronics and hacking.

At 18, he had become smitten with the late 1990s hacker scene. But after a series of hacks against the government, Aznar was arrested and given a non-choice. Hone his skills with the Black Wasps, the special forces in Cuba, and work for the government or face years of incarceration. In the Black Wasps, Aznar honed his skills as an expert marksman, learned infiltration techniques and worked for years on domestic surveillance projects aimed at journalists, politicians, corporate heads and upper-class members. Eventually, the work peeled away every shred of decency and humanity and the boundaries between right and wrong dissolved. However, he continued to harbour resentment towards the global elite, including the Cuban government and the US for their “pathetic attempts” at helping the Cuban people. This resentment grew into hatred for both sides of ongoing political tensions so he began plotting his revenge. Soon after, Aznar sets in motion a plan to take revenge. His scheme involves hijacking shipments of dangerous chemical gas headed for Russia. With the chemical gas in his possession and a kidnapped nuclear physicist to weaponize them, Aznar plans to load the weaponized gas onto a train that will be detonated in the heart of a city in Venezuela, to spark a war between NATO and Russia.

He ultimately is saved by Fearing when she returns.

After the incident Patricia and her manager, Mr. Wain, believe that Bond had accidentally bumped a switch causing the traction table to speed up.

Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

He loves only gold
Only gold

He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

Ursula Andress

**Ursula Andress** is a Swiss actress and sex symbol of the 1960s who is best known for her role as Bond girl Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962), for which she won a Golden Globe. She later starred as Vesper Lynd in the 1967 Bond-parody Casino Royale. For her role in Dr. No, Andress won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year in 1964.

## Dr. No

Andress became famous for her portrayal of Honey Ryder, a shell diver and James Bond's object of desire in the very first Bond film, Dr. No (1962). In a well-known scene, she rises out of the Caribbean Sea in a white bikini. The iconic scene made Andress the quintessential Bond girl, inspiring every bikini-clad Bond girl to come, including Halle Berry, who in Die Another Day emerges from the sea in a similar fashion.

## Trivia

* Two weeks before filming was due to start, the part of Honey Ryder was still to be cast. The producers then saw a photograph that actor John Derek had taken of his wife, Ursula Andress, and offered her the part without even meeting her. Some sources claim that the photograph allegedly featured Andress in a wet T-shirt competition. Andress, who wasn't overly interested in acting at the time, only agreed to do it when family friend Kirk Douglas read the script and urged her to take it on.
* Due to Andress' heavy Swiss-German accent, Honey Ryder's voice was provided by Nikki van der Zyl, while the calypso was sung by Diana Coupland.
* The bikini Andress wore in Dr. No was sold at auction in 2001 for a whopping £35,000.
* In 2003, in a UK Survey by Channel 4, Andress' entrance in Dr. No was voted #1 in "the 100 Greatest Sexy Moments".
* Andress was apparently paid $6000 for appearing in Dr. No. She had a salary of $1000 per week for six weeks work.

Oddjob (Literary)

## 'Unknown'

**Oddjob** is a henchman to the villain Auric Goldfinger in the Ian Fleming novel, *Goldfinger*. Oddjob is clearly far superior in strength and unarmed combat skills to Bond, and therefore is finally killed by a blend of pure good luck and personal cunning on Bond's part.

## Novel biography

Oddjob, so named by Goldfinger, is Korean-born, and, much like in the film, is extremely strong, proven in one instance where he breaks the railing of a staircase with his hand and the mantel of a fireplace with his foot. Expert at unarmed combat, Oddjob is also expert with a bow and arrow, and with his metal bowler hat. He is a ruthless killer, but also acts as Goldfinger's personal guard, driver, and manservant (though not his golf caddy).

He has a taste for cats as food, apparently acquired in Korea when food was in short supply (Bond frames Goldfinger's yellow cat for destruction of surveillance film, and as punishment, sees the cat given to Oddjob for dinner). He is killed when James Bond uses a knife to shatter the window next to his seat on an airplane, which depressurizes the plane and sucks Oddjob out of the window, a fate transferred to Auric Goldfinger in the film version.
Quarrel Jr.

## Quarrel Junior

**Quarrel Jr.** is a Caribbean fisherman and son of the Cayman islander, Quarrel, who appears in Dr. No. He is an ally to Bond in the film Live and Let Die and is portrayed by Roy Stewart.

## Novel Biography

Quarrel Jr. does not appear in any of the Fleming novels. In the novel Live and Let Die, it is Quarrel who is Bond's ally. It is the first of two appearances by the character in the Fleming novels; his second and last appearance being in the novel Dr. No  in which he is killed.

When the novels were translated to the big screen, the producers chose to shoot the films in a different order than the novels; Dr. No now preceded the earlier book Live and Let Die to the screen. Consequently, Quarrel Jr. was likely the writers' way of getting around the fact of Quarrel's death in film adaptation of Dr. No.

## Film Biography

Tatiana Romanova (Literary)

## Tatiana Romanova

**Tatiana Romanova** is a Soviet corporal who appears in the Ian Fleming novel *From Russia with Love*.

## Novel biography

Tatiana Romanova is introduced as a corporal in Soviet Army Intelligence, assigned to work in the Soviet Embassy in Istanbul as a cipher clerk. Her superiors, in connection with a SMERSH, plan to sow dissent in the intelligence community by murdering and discrediting a significant figure in western intelligence. This was to be achieved by the murder of James Bond.

Her commanding officer is Rosa Klebb who manipulates her into believing that she is on an important mission for her country, when she is in fact merely a pawn in the terrorist organization's latest bid to destroy the British Secret Service.

Klebb is actually a member of the Soviet government, commander in chief of the Otdyel II section of the SMERSH. Thus, Romanova works for the Soviets, who assign her the mission of seducing Bond and having him take her to England to deliver a SPEKTOR code machine, as well as plant false information, before being rescued from a political prison and returned to Russia.

Once in Istanbul, she contacts Darko Kerim and tells him her plans: she would willingly defect from the Soviet Union and take with her the precious LEKTOR/SPEKTOR only if Bond assisted the operation. She claimed that she had fallen in love with the man from a picture she had seen in a secret file and wanted to live with him.

Both M and Bond believe this to be a trap, but the prize is valuable enough to go for it. They react just as the main instigator of the plot, chess champion Kronsteen, had predicted. Bond then flies to Istanbul and contacts Kerim, spending several days there, waiting for contact. After a riot at a Gypsy camp, Bond returns to his hotel room and finds Romanova walking across the room and getting into his bed, wearing only a black velvet choker and black stockings. They make love, but are secretly filmed by Klebb's minions via a one-way mirror. This tape is explicitly planned to be used to embarrass MI6.

## Personality

Unlike other Bond girls Tatiana has had sexual experience before meeting Bond. She tells Rosa Klebb that she has had intercourse with three different men. She apparently styled her hair after Swedish born actress Greta Garbo.
Vargas

## Luis Vargas

**Vargas** is a villain who appears in both the Ian Fleming novel Thunderball and its 1965 film adaptation.

## Novel biography

In the 1961 Ian Fleming novel Thunderball, Vargas is one of around forty SPECTRE operatives under the command of Emilio Largo.

The character is notable for being the man who coldly kills Giuseppe Petacchi, the Italian pilot who is bribed to hijack the Vindicator bomber and its atomic payload.

A short, thick man with a very direct gaze, his distinguishing feature is a stoical professionalism and rigid self-control. In the novel, these characteristics are shown to not be unique to Vargas and apply to the entire Disco Volante crew.

## Film biography

After spotting him in the casino, Vargas is properly introduced to 007 by Largo while visiting the latter's estate at Palmyra. Largo offers Bond a Rum Collins, and illustratively prepares to hand Vargas one, before using the opportunity to mention Vargas' complete abstinence from alcohol, tobacco or sex. Unlike the novel, this characteristic is unique to Vargas and emphasizes his total devotion as a killer.

A few days later he kidnaps Bond's assistant Paula Caplan at their Nassau hotel with the help of Janni and Fiona Volpe. While interrogating Caplan, Vargas goes too hard which Ladislav Kutze protests causing her to slip a cyanide pill into her mouth. Later, Volpe waits for Bond in his suite, keeping him occupied until her assistants arrive. Leaving for the Junkanoo, Bond opens the door to come face-to-face with Vargas and Janni. Slamming the door shut, he turns to find Volpe holding a gun on him. They take him captive.

Later, as Bond reveals the fate of Domino's brother, François Derval, Vargas arrives and observes the pair from a distance. As Vargas screws the silencer onto his sidearm, he is spotted by Domino, who calmly comments “Vargas is behind you”. Bond slowly but smoothly picks up his spear gun and impales Vargas on a tree.
