Later that evening Bond adventures into Ruby's room. Bond strips off the kilt that he is wearing, and Ruby is amused by it. They then make love but are interrupted when Blofeld's voice turns Ruby into a trance-like state.

## Film biography

In Goldfinger's "Operation Grand Slam", the pilots of Pussy Galore's Flying Circus are responsible for spraying Delta 9 nerve gas over Fort Knox. In theory, the deadly gas was to kill the gold depository's defenders, allowing Goldfinger to walk in unopposed and plant an atomic device in the vault. On the day of the attack, Operation Grand Slam began with Pussy Galore's Flying Circus spraying the gas over Fort Knox as planned. However, Bond had seduced Pussy, convincing her to replace the nerve gas with a harmless substance and alert the U.S. government about Goldfinger's plan.

## Behind the scenes

Between the shooting at Northolt airstrip on May 13th 1964, and additonal shots completed on July 2nd, 1964, of the five original girls who played the pilots, two had been replaced. The original May line up was with Aleta Morrison, Maggie Wright, Jane Holland, Jane Murdoch and Maise Farrell. By July Jane Murdoch and Maise Farrell had been replaced by Caron Gardner and Lesley Langley. So 7 girls played the 5 pilots, but two of them were eventually only used for photos and never seen in the film.

Marc-Ange Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti)

## Marc-Ange Draco

**Marc-Ange Draco** is the head of one of the most powerful crime syndicates in the world and father of Tracy Bond (therefore Bond's father-in-law). He appears in both the novel and film adaptation of On Her Majesty's Secret Service and is portrayed by Gabriele Ferzetti.

## Film biography

After saving his daughter from a suicide attempt, Draco wants Bond to marry Tracy in order to help with her erratic tendencies, and in exchange, uses his contacts in the underworld to help Bond finding his nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

When Bond is unable to get MI6 to destroy Piz Gloria, Bond requests Draco and a group of his men within the Union Corse to help him in the attack on Blofeld's mountain hideaway. Upon arriving Blofeld's headquarters, Draco and his men rescue the kidnapped Tracy, and personally knocks his daughter unconscious when she chooses to stay behind for Bond. After Bond and Tracy become newlyweds, Draco acknowledges his meeting of M being "the man who cost me three of my best operators" in which M replies "Yes. November 1964 - The bullion job." most likely referring to the Goldfinger incident.

## Background

Academic Christoph Lindner identifies the character of Marc-Ange Draco as an example of those characters following his tradition of having morals closer to those of the traditional villains, but who act on the side of good in support of Bond; others of this type include Darko Kerim (From Russia, with Love), Tiger Tanaka (You Only Live Twice) and Enrico Colombo ("Risico"). Fellow academic Jeremy Black noted the connection between Draco and World War II; Draco wears the King's Medal for Courage in the Cause of Freedom. The war reference is a method used by Fleming to differentiate good from evil and raises a question about "the distinction between criminality and legality", according to Black.

Nick Nack

**Nick Nack** is assassin Francisco Scaramanga's diminutive assistant from the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. He was played by the late French actor Hervé Villechaize, who tragically killed himself in 1993.

## Film biography

Nick Nack was an all-round personal assistant to Francisco Scaramanga, acting as butler, housekeeper, and chef (trained at Le Cordon Bleu), as well as a henchman to Scaramanga's criminal activities. A distinctive feature of Nick Nack is his height, standing only 1.18 metres (3'11") tall.

Although Nick Nack was very loyal to Scaramanga, at times he would hire other assassins to kill him. Scaramanga tolerated it as a means to practice his skills, but Nick Nack was also the sole heir to Scaramanga's estate; if the assassin had succeeded, then Nick Nack would have inherited everything.

After Scaramanga's demise and the destruction of the estate (thanks to Goodnight knocking one of the henchmen Kra into a boiler), Nick Nack  tries to kill Bond and Goodnight onboard the junk and after a brief fight, Bond stuffs him in a suitcase and locked him in a wooden cage hung from the yardarms of the ship. His current status is unknown (though he was probably arrested).

## Other appearances

### James Bond Jr

In the early 1990s, Nick Nack appeared in the animated spin-off, James Bond Jr as a member of the SCUM organisation. A particularly small henchman with a huge chin, Nick Nack is often the butt of "short jokes" from both James Bond Jr. and his villainous "other half", Jaws, with whom he is almost always coupled (not only in crimes but also in terms of their relatively low intellects) in SCUM's various schemes.

### 007: Nightfire

Nick Nack also appears as an unlockable character in the 2002 video-game 007: Nightfire in multiplayer mode.

## Trivia

* Nick Nack was likely the inspiration for Villechaize's later character, Tattoo, on the television show Fantasy Island (who was also played by Villechaize), as well as an inspiration for Doctor Evil's Mini-Me in the Austin Powers films, which parodied the James Bond series.
Rodney

**Rodney** is a minor villain in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun and possibly the same character in Diamonds Are Forever. He is played by Marc Lawrence.

## Film Biography

Rodney, a gangster from Las Vegas, travels to a private island off the coast of China at the behest of Nick Nack. Rodney hopes to assassinate master assassin Francisco Scaramanga for a fee. Rodney finds himself a pawn in a live training exercise from Scaramanga. When Rodney's first shot misses Scaramanga, he finds himself lost in a funhouse. As Rodney pursues the assassin Nick Nack mocks Scaramanga which causes unease for Rodney. Scaramanga eventually shoots Rodney once in the forehead.

## Behind the Scenes

Marc Lawrence also played the lead gangster in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever opposite Sean Connery. Whether they are intended to be the same character is unknown.
Willard Whyte

**Willard Whyte** is a reclusive billionaire from the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. He was played by American actor and singer Jimmy Dean.

## Film biography

Willard Whyte is a millionaire and the owner of The Whyte House until Ernst Stavro Blofeld kidnaps him. Blofeld uses a voice simulator to impersonate the billionaire. James Bond traces suspicious activity back to the recluse Willard Whyte, who resides in his penthouse apartment in the Whyte House in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to Felix Leiter, no one has seen him for years, yet he still apparently runs his multi-billion-dollar business empire single handed.

After Bond gives Bambi and Thumper free-stroke lessons, the CIA, Felix Leiter and Bond rescue Whyte. While making their way out, they are shot at by Bert Saxby but they easily shoot him dead and when Bond identified him, Whyte yells "Tell him, he's 'fired'!" While looking for Blofeld's latest lair, they found he had stationed himself in Baja California on an oil platform. Whyte realizes something is amiss, telling Bond he made no investments in Mexico.

Once the deception is uncovered, Whyte uses his contacts and funds to assist in the destruction of Blofeld's lair on the oil rig. After Bond presumably killed Blofeld, rescued Tiffany Case and destroyed Blofeld's lair, Whyte and Felix bid Bond and Tiffany farewell, with Whyte jokingly remarking "If you are having a good time, I will have the captain steer the ship in circles!"

## Behind the scenes

The character of Whyte takes several traits from eccentric industrialist Howard Hughes such as the similar name and notably the reclusive behavior. Around the time of filming Hughes too was secluded at a Las Vegas hotel, similar to the character in the movie. Although Whyte wasn't seen until later, Jimmy Dean dubbed for Charles Gray while he impersonated the billionaire.
Thunderball (song)

**Thunderball** is the theme song for the Bond film Thunderball. It was composed by John Barry and Don Black, and performed by Tom Jones.

## Lyrics

He always runs while others walk,

he acts while other men just talk,

he looks at this world and wants it all,

so, he strikes like Thunderball.

He knows the meaning of success,

his needs are more so he gives less,

they call him the winner who takes all,

and he strikes like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants, he'll get,

he will break any heart without regret,

his days of asking are all gone,

his fight goes on and on and on,

but he thinks that the fight is worth it all,

so he strikes like Thunderball.
Tiger Tanaka (Literary)

## Tiger Tanaka

**Tiger Tanaka** is the head of the Japanese Secret Service, the Koan-Chosa-Kyoku, in the novel You Only Live Twice. He takes his name from being born in the year of the tiger.

## History

### You Only Live Twice

Tiger studied PPE at Oxford and spied on Britain for Japan before the war. He joined the Kempeitai (the wartime Japanese Gestapo), before resigning and bribed his way to be trained to be a kami-kaze, but never completed the mission due to the surrender of Japan. Being a believer in "demokrasu", he became the head of the Japanese Secret Service during the American occupation of Japan. Tanaka is a womanizer who has nearly been married three times but was talked out of them by his Australian associate, Dikko Henderson. Tiger is stoically bitter about the influence of American culture in his country, decrying it as the price of defeat.

Introduced to James Bond by Dikko, the two negotiate for British access to the Japanese intelligence feed on the Soviet Union. In exchange for the data, Tanaka compels Bond to undertake the assassination of a foreign botanist named Doctor Guntram Shatterhand, who is later revealed to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld in disguise. Tanaka personally takes charge of Bond's training for the mission, instructing him in Japanese customs and enrolling him in a ninja training school, showing Bond tricks of concealment and attacking with suprise. He then leaves Bond on an island near the castle with local Ama diver, Kissy Suzuki.

After Bond completes his mission, killing Shatterhand and destroying his Garden of Death, Tiger visits the island in search of him. He leaves with a heavy heart, not knowing that Bond is living there with Kissy in a state of amnesia.

### The Man with the Red Tattoo

Tiger Tanaka also features in the Raymond Benson novel The Man with the Red Tattoo, in which he has retired from intelligence work with the Koan-Chosa-Kyoku, but still retains authority as a director emeritus. He has also developed heart disease, and suffers a heart attack shortly before the climax of the novel, but survives.

## Background

Tanaka's physical description and personality are based on the Japanese writer Torao "Tiger" Saito, whom Fleming met in Tokyo while researching the Far East for a series of travel articles, later published as Thrilling Cities. Many of the descriptions of Japanese customs in You Only Live Twice come from Fleming's conversations with Saito.

Tiger is the last in a series of mission specific allies, who aid Bond in his adventures, such as Quarrel, Darko Kerim, Enrico Colombo and Marc-Ange Draco.
Felix Leiter (Cec Linder)

## Felix Leiter

**Felix Leiter** is a fictional character invented by Ian Fleming in the James Bond books, who also appears in the Bond movies. In the films, Leiter works for the CIA, and assists Bond in his various adventures. He was portrayed by Cec Linder in the 1964 film Goldfinger.

## Biography

### Goldfinger

James Bond receives instructions from M via Leiter from Miami about the suspicious activities of Auric Goldfinger. Leiter later joins James in the raid on Fort Knox and helps Bond disarm the bomb designed to blow the vault to pieces.

## Production

When the role of Leiter was brought back for the third Bond film, Goldfinger, in 1964, Jack Lord was again approached to play Leiter; according to screenwriter Richard Maibaum, Lord demanded co-star billing with Connery, a bigger role and more money to reprise the role. The producers instead decided to recast the role, initially with Austin Willis. At the last minute, Cec Linder switched roles with Willis, who played cards with Goldfinger. Linder was the only actor actually on location in Miami. Raymond Benson considers that Linder was "miscast" as Leiter because he looked too old: "he looks like Bond's uncle rather than his best friend."

Terence Young

**Stewart Terence Herbert Young** (June 20, 1915 – September 7, 1994) was a British film director, born in Shanghai, China, was public-school educated, and read Oriental History at St Catharine's College in the University of Cambridge (like the fictional James Bond). He was probably best known for directing three films, including the first, in the James Bond series: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), and Thunderball (1965).

As a tank commander during World War II, Young participated in the battle at Arnhem, Netherlands. In 1946, he was one of the directors of the film Theirs is the Glory, which recaptured the fighting around Arnhem bridge, (Arnhem was home to the adolescent Audrey Hepburn). During the filming of Wait Until Dark, Hepburn and Young would joke that he was shelling his favorite star without even knowing it.

Young began as a screenwriter in British films of the 1940s and 1950s, before directing several films for Irving Allen (not disaster film mogul Irwin Allen) and Albert R. Broccoli's Warwick Films in the 1950s, including The Red Beret with Alan Ladd; this association lead to his being offered the directorship of the first two James Bond films.

"Terence Young WAS James Bond" wrote Robert Cotton. There is little doubt Young fit the profile of Bond - the erudite, sophisticated lady killer, dressed in Savile Row suits, always witty, well-versed in wine, and comfortable at home and abroad. Cotton commented, "As Lois Maxwell related in one of Connery's many biographies, 'Terence took Sean under his wing. He took him to dinner, showed him how to walk, how to talk, even how to eat.' Some of the cast remarked that Connery was simply doing a Terence Young impression, but Young and Connery knew they were on the right track." During the filming of From Russia with Love, Young and a photographer nearly drowned when their helicopter crashed into the sea while filming a key sequence. They were rescued by other members of the film crew. Ever the tough guy, Young was back behind the camera thirty minutes after being rescued.

Later movies directed by Young include Mayerling (1968) and Inchon (1981). Mark Bowden states in Tales of the Tyrant, published in The Atlantic Monthly, that Young was the editor of The Long Days, a 6 hour Iraqi telenovela about the life of Saddam Hussein.

Young died of a heart attack at the age of 79 in Cannes on the Côte d'Azur in France.

**Piz Gloria** is the name of the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn near Mürren in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The only public access is by cable car. The cable car station and the restaurant were designed by the Bernese architect Konrad Wolf. The Piz Gloria restaurant claims to be the world's first revolving restaurant, although others already existed, such as the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.

## In James Bond

Piz Gloria was prominently featured in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service as the headquarters of villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his 12 beautiful (and brainwashed) Angels of Death. Inside the Piz Gloria contains a laboratory for creating biological warfare agents for Blofeld's agricultural plot. The clinic is destroyed after Draco's men detonated the bombs inside the clinic.

As the owner of Piz Gloria had run out of money during its construction, it was unfinished when the filmmakers were seeking locations. EON Productions paid to finish it in return for exclusive use of the property during filming.

Tee-Hee Johnson (Julius Harris)

## Tee Hee Johnson

**Tee-Hee Johnson** is one of Mr. Big's henchmen from Live and Let Die. He was portrayed by Julius Harris.

## Film biography

In the film, Tee-Hee is portrayed as Mr. Big's right hand man and has a metal arm, replacing one which was bitten off by a crocodile named "Albert." He appears to be either a chief bodyguard or right hand man of Kananga's as he appears in almost all of his employer's scenes regardless of which identity his employer is currently assuming. As in the novel, Tee-Hee's name is derived from his tendency to chuckle to himself very often for little or no reason. As Bond states when he first meets the man: "Funny how the least little thing amuses him".

In his first meeting of Bond, Tee-Hee is informed that Bond is armed by Solitaire, disarms him and, in a demonstration of his formidable hook, twists Bond's gun. In their next meeting, Tee-Hee leads Bond to an island surrounded by crocodiles and alligators, but Bond escapes by using the backs of the alligators as stepping stones.

### Death

After Bond foils Mr. Big's plot and killing Dr. Kananga, Tee-Hee returns for vengeance. He sneaks himself onboard a train that Bond and Solitaire are travelling on, and after a fight between the pair, Bond uses nail clippers to cut the wires controlling Tee Hee's metal arm. This causes the claw to clamp down on a window ledge, rendering Tee-Hee immobile. Bond then grabs his legs and throws Tee-Hee out of the window of the moving train, ripping out his metal arm and leaving it attached to the window ledge.
Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman)

## Pussy Galore

**Pussy Galore** is a major character of the 1964 film Goldfinger. She serves as the film's main Bond girl and tertiary antagonist. She is played by Honor Blackman.

## Film biography

Pussy Galore is Auric Goldfinger's personal pilot and commander of "Pussy Galore's Flying Circus." Her main objective in the film is to have her flying circus dispense an airborne nerve gas over Fort Knox so that Goldfinger and his communist Chinese allies can break into the U.S. gold bullion depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky and detonate a nuclear weapon.

Bond, with Galore's help, foils Goldfinger's plan by persuading her not to spray the nerve gas over Fort Knox, thus allowing the U.S. Army to close in around Goldfinger and stop his operation. On the plane bound for Washington, Goldfinger plans to kill Galore for her betrayal.

## Trivia

* Pussy Galore's name is parodied in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery as Alotta Fagina (Alotta Cleavage in the edited TV version).
* The typeface on the banner in Monty Python's Flying Circus is the same as in the banner of Pussy Galore's Flying Circus.
* Pussy is the first leading Bond girl to be a villain. Although she switches sides.

Later after Goldfinger's death, she picks up Goldeneye and while the helicopter was on auto-pilot, they started making out, which was witnessed by Blofeld and Scaramanga. Galore also appears in 007 Legends, where the game depicts her in a role similar to the film, Goldfinger. Again, she is Goldfinger's personal pilot, but she ends up assisting Bond's entrance into Goldfinger's study and helps foil Goldfinger's Operation Grand Slam, the same operation described in the film, but was annoyed when Mr. Ling ignores her.

You Only Live Twice (song)

**You Only Live Twice** is the theme song of the Bond film of the same name. It was written by Leslie Bricusse and John Barry and performed by Nancy Sinatra.

## Lyrics

You only live twice or so it seems,

one life for yourself and one for your dreams,

you drift through the years and life seems tame,

till one dream appears and love is it's name.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,

don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone,

this dream is for you, so pay the price,

make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,

don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone,

this dream is for you, so pay the price,

make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,

don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone,

this dream is for you, so pay the price,

make one dream come true, you only live twice.
Walter Gotell

**Walter Jack Gotell** (15 March 1924 – 5 May 1997) was a German-British actor, known for his role as General Gogol, head of the KGB, a character in the James Bond film series, as well as having played the role of Morzeny, a villain, in From Russia With Love.

## Life and career

Gotell was born in Bonn; his family emigrated to Britain after the arrival of National Socialism in Germany. A fluent English speaker, he started in films as early as 1943, usually playing German henchmen, such as in We Dive at Dawn (1943).

He began to have more established roles by the early 1950s, starring in The African Queen (1951), The Red Beret (1953) for Albert R. Broccoli, Ice Cold in Alex (1958),The Guns of Navarone (1961), The Road to Hong Kong (1962), Lord Jim (1965), Black Sunday (1977), The Boys from Brazil (1978) and Cuba (1979).

His first role in the James Bond film series was in 1963, when he played the henchman Morzeny in From Russia with Love. From the late 1970s, he played the recurring role of General Gogol in the series, beginning with The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). The character returned in Moonraker(1979), For Your Eyes Only(1981), Octopussy (1983), A View to a Kill (1985), and The Living Daylights (1987). As the Cold War neared its end, the role of leader of the KGB was seen to change attitudes to the West – from direct competitor to collaborator. Gotell is one of a few actors to have played a villain and a Bond ally in the film series (others being Charles Gray, Richard Kiel and Joe Don Baker).

Throughout his career, Gotell also made numerous guest appearances in television series including Danger Man, Knight Rider, The A-Team, Airline, Airwolf, The X-Files,Scarecrow and Mrs. King, MacGyver, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Miami Vice, Cagney & Lacey, and The Saint among others. He played Chief Constable Cullen inSoftly, Softly: Taskforce (1969–75).

Gotell was a businessman as well as an actor, and used his acting salaries to fund his business interests. He had one daughter, Carol, born in 1960.

He died on 5 May 1997 from cancer at the age of 73.
Simmons

**Simmons** is a minor character in the 1964 movie Goldfinger. He was the card partner of Auric Goldfinger on Miami Beach. He always lost because Jill Masterson can see his cards through her high-powered binoculars. She communicates via radio with Goldfinger (who receives the messages through a false hearing aid), telling him what cards Simmons has and what is going on in the game. After Bond exposed the cheating the fortune smiled to him. He was portrayed by Austin Willis.

## Literary

The novel had a different character who played against Goldfinger named Mr. Dupont. Unlike Simmons, Mr. Dupont was a character who knew Bond, having previously appeared in Casino Royale, to which Bond remembered "being seated next to Mr. & Mrs. Dupont the big night when he had broken Le Chiffre." As in the film, Bond stops the cheating, but his demands to Goldfinger are more detailed. Bond demands Goldfinger shell out $50,000 as punishment for his cheating and to directly apologize to Mr. Dupont, $35,000 was the approximate amount Goldfinger had flimflammed from Mr. Dupont, with $10,000 being Bond's cut. The remaning $5,000 was to also go to Mr. Dupont for wasting his time. Bond also demanded Goldfinger arrange a private suite for Jill Masterson and himself on the Silver Meteor train service from Miami to New York City. Although M is glad Bond foiled Goldfinger in that regard, he expresses disappointment that Bond spent his $10,000 on Jill Masterson, when agents were required to hand over such profits to the Secret Service as Bond was on duty, or at the very least, M suggested, to donate it to the White Cross.
United Artists

The **United Artists Corporation** (aka **United Artists Associated**, **United Artists Pictures**, and **United Artists Films**) is a movie studio and a subsidiary of MGM, itself part of the Sony Pictures/Comcast joint venture. It is currently "branded" as an art-house studio.

UA, an MGM division for a quarter century, also shares the copyright (with Danjaq L.L.C.) of the wildly successful James Bond film franchise.

## History

It backed two expatriate Americans in Britain, who had acquired screen rights to Ian Fleming's Bond novels. For $1 million, UA backed Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli's Dr. No (which was a sensation in 1962) and served as the launching point for the James Bond series. That franchise has outlived UA's life as a major studio, still running forty years later and still co-owned by UA. Other successful projects backed in this period included Blake Edwards's Pink Panther series, which began in 1964, and Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns, which made a star of Clint Eastwood.

In 1990 came the farcical sale to the Italian promoter Giancarlo Parretti; having bought MGM/UA by wildly overstating his own financial condition, within a year Parretti had defaulted to his primary bank, Crédit Lyonnais, which foreclosed on the studio in 1992. In an effort to make MGM/UA saleable, Credit Lyonnais ramped up production, reviving the James Bond films. MGM was sold in 1997, again to Kirk Kekorian. During the 2000s, UA was repositioned as a boutique or specialty studio, while the Bond francise was move to MGM. UA (re-christened United Artists Films) released a few "art-house" films.

On April 8, 2005, a partnership of Comcast, Sony and several merchant banks bought United Artists and its parent, MGM, for a total of $4.8 billion.

Cuba

Cuba is an island country in the Caribbean.

In "GoldenEye" and "Die Another Day", Bond visits Cuba.

The nation of Cuba consists of the main island of Cuba, the Isla de la Juventud, and several archipelagos the country is currently runned by Fidel Castro.

To the north of Cuba lies the United States and the Bahamas, Mexico is to the west, the Cayman Islands and Jamaica are to the south, and Haiti and the Dominican Republic are to the southeast.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus found and claimed the island now occupied by Cuba, for the Kingdom of Spain. Cuba remained territory of Spain until the Spanish–American War ended in 1898, and gained formal independence from the U.S. in 1902. Between 1953 and 1959 the Cuban Revolution occurred, removing the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista and the creation of it's Marxism-Leninism communism government, which is still current today.

Cuba is home to over 11 million people and is the most populous island nation in the Caribbean, as well as the largest by area. Its people, culture, and customs draw from diverse sources, such as the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney peoples, the period of Spanish colonialism, the introduction of African slaves and its proximity to the United States.

Cuba has a 99.8% literacy rate, an infant death rate lower than some developed countries, and an average life expectancy of 77.64. In 2006, Cuba was the only nation in the world which met the WWF's definition of sustainable development; having an ecological footprint of less than 1.8 hectares per capita and a Human Development Index of over 0.8 for 2007.
