  1. hi team, just a little note to add the name of Edward de Souza to your list of actors with a connection to both Hammer and Bond. He appeared in both ‘Phantom of the Opera’ (1962) and ‘The Spy who loved Me’ (1977). Only just discovered your excellent site!

  2. It’s Martine Beswick, not “Martin”. And she was in both FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and THUNDERBALL, not just FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. Her Hammer films not only included DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE, but also ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. and PREHISTORIC WOMEN. In more recent years, she added an “e” to the end of her last name, changing “Beswick” to “Beswicke.”

  3. Joanna Lumley starred as Jessica van Helsing in The Satanic Rites of Dracula and was in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

    Also, Charles Gray was in two Bond films. In addition to playing Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever, as shown in the article he also played Dikko Henderson in You Only Live Twice.
