Commander James Bond, also known as 007, is a fictional British secret service agent created by novelist Ian Fleming for the debut novel Casino Royale in 1953. He is the protagonist in twelve Fleming novels and two short story collections, the last three published posthumously between 1964 and 1966. Following Ian Fleming's death in 1964, many continuation novels by Kingsley Amis, John Pearson, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, and Charlie Higson were published.

Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman's EON Productions started the official, authorized cinematic run of Bond in 1962, with the release of Dr. No. Since then the Bond film franchise has become one of the most successful and lucrative franchises in the film industry spanning 21 official films (22nd in the works), 2 unofficial films, and one television episode. Six actors have portrayed agent 007 in authorized films: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, who stars in the first official adaptation of Fleming's novel Casino Royale released on November 14, 2006.

In addition to novels and films, Bond is a prominent character in many computer and video games, comic strips and comic books and has been the subject of many parodies.

Selected article

GoldenEye (1995) is the seventeenth spy film of the British James Bond series, and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Unlike previous James Bond films, it was not related to the works of novelist Ian Fleming, although the name "GoldenEye" was taken from his estate in Jamaica. The original story was conceived and written by Michael France, with later collaboration by several other writers, and was directed by Martin Campbell. In the film, Bond fights to prevent an arms syndicate from using the GoldenEye satellite weapon against London in order to cause a global financial meltdown.

GoldenEye was released in 1995 after legal disputes forced a six-year hiatus in the series, during which Timothy Dalton resigned from the role of James Bond and was replaced by Pierce Brosnan. M was also recast (last played by Robert Brown in Licence to Kill) with actress Judi Dench, becoming the first female to portray the character. GoldenEye was the first Bond film made after the downfall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, which provided a background for the plot.

Selected biography

She won the Sarah Siddons Award for her Chicago performance in Tea and Sympathy, which she originated on Broadway, a Golden Globe Award for the motion picture, The King and I, and she was also the recipient of honorary Academy, BAFTA and Cannes Film Festival awards.

She was nominated six times for an Academy Award as Best Actress but never won.
