Albert R. Broccoli(1909-1996)

There was a memorable incident on one of the James Bond film sets: several crew members decided to get some drinks, and charged them to Broccoli. When he later discovered what had happened, he was not at all angry about having to pay for all of those drinks; the only thing about this which upset him was that the crew had spelled his name wrong on the checks.

[on George Lazenby and his one-time performance as James Bond in Au service secret de Sa Majesté (1969)] He could have been a good Bond, but the minute he signed up, he became impossible. He now says he made a mistake. Occasionally, he would call and say he wanted to do Bond again, but I said we couldn't do that. It was a good movie, though, with a good script. George did the best he could in the role.
