    I think it's more a case that women being enamored by their stars is treated very differently (and taken less seriously) than the reverse.

    She had the balls to fire Brosnan after his films made a lot of money for her. So she wasn't enamored with all her stars.

    I think it's more likely Eon would be making Bond 26 (if they let Craig walk after Spectre, and had started up a new Bond film already with a new actor by 2019).

    Maybe. But I don't think Babs ever had a vision of Bond past Daniel Craig. She had this weird attachment to him.

    I don’t get why people think it’s weird that she thought the lead of her films, who she picked, was great; film producers are supposed to do that. Any notions that she was in love with him are projection and a bit sexist, frankly.

    I agree with what you're saying but she gave up the franchise after him. She never had a vision for the series after Craig. So she sold. Cubby had visions for Bond for 30+ years

    And she ran the Bonds for almost the same amount of time (both her and Wilson worked on them much longer- he's been a producer on them since 1984, 41 years ago, far longer than Cubby ever did it), and still retired while she's got plenty of life in her.

    Look, they came up with their ultimate version of Bond, it was a huge global mega hit, and funnily enough when they hit 64 and 82 years old respectively, they didn't fancy starting from day one again yet another 15 year cycle of making blockbuster movies and thought they'd enjoy their millions -or billions, even. So sue them.
