George Lazenby: The unsung Bond
|
Aug 03, 2012
Sean Connery played James Bond six times (seven if you count 1983's ''Never Say Never Again''). Roger Moore held the role for seven films, Timothy Dalton for two, Pierce Brosnan for four, and Daniel Craig for three. Then there's George Lazenby who famously played Bond only once. That may lead you to believe that the Australian actor was a double-0-dud. But ''On Her Majesty'''s Secret Service is now regarded as one of the saga's underrated gems. EW called the 72-year-old actor at his L.A. home to talk about his brief but memorable moment as 007. Read it

The Parks and Recreation actress' new movie, Celeste and Jesse Forever, was partly inspired by her favorite film, James L. Brooks' 1987 classic in which Holly Hunter plays Jane, a TV journalist torn between pretty-boy anchor Tom (William Hurt) and dogged reporter Aaron (Albert Brooks). ''My character is a photocopy of Hunter's character,'' says Jones, who co-wrote the script. ''I'm a thief.'' Here's how else the film has influenced her. Read it
