Once again I made a pilgramage to Beaulieu in the NEw Forest to meet the legend that is Richard 'Jaws' Kiel.

Richard was signing his book and autographys along with Blanche who played Dolly in Moonraker.

The crowds were huge and after a 3.5 hr drive and a 3hr queue! I finally managed a photo with the man himself.

Did anyone else go?[img]<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/83421892@N05/8877368421/"; title="IMG_7600[1] by jbondcollector, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3769/8877368421_3b2c27bac5_b.jpg"; width="1024" height="768" alt="IMG_7600[1]"></a>[/img]

    Blanche has aged VERY well in 35 years.

    I'd love to go around the world meeting these Bond actors but when I'm old enough most of them would be dead like the really old ones.

    Some of the actors go to other places, too; Kiel will be in England rarely, but maybe you can meet him someday. He will send you a personalized autograph to you if you buy it through his own website. Last time I checked (7 years ago or so ...) it was very reasonably priced, too (less than $20). Everything I have heard about him makes him seem like a genuinely nice guy.

    I agree that Blanche looks terrific! Nice to see her looking so fit and great at her age.

    Two of the not so famous Bond actors I'd like to meet are Jill Bennet (Coach Brink in FYEO) and John Moreno (Luigi in FYEO). I enjoyed their portrayals.

    What do you mean by fit? Fit healthy or the other fit? :)
