|
|
Barry Nelson, a Broadway leading man who launched his career at MGM in the 1940s and earned a niche in show-business history as the first actor to play British secret agent James Bond — as an American named Jimmy Bond — in a live television production of "Casino Royale" in the 1950s, has died. He was 89.
==========================
I'd never heard of him until now. Jimmy Bond indeed!  _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |
