Bond, James Bond

Raymond Benson


Signed bookplate of the Bond writer - Raymond Benson.


I have a similar card for trade/sale if anyone is interested.

Wolfgang Draeger


Another German voice-over artist - Wolfgang Draeger. Wolfgang did the German dubbing for George Pastell (the train conductor) in From Russia With Love - I KNOW.....I'M TAKING THINGS TOO FAR NOW - I JUST CAN'T STOP MYSELF! Signed 6x4 Colour


(PS...has anyone got a list of the Lithuanian voice over cast?)

Eckart Dux


A very rare signed photo - Eckart Dux. Eckart won't be known to most Bond fans - only the German fans! Eckart was the voice of Dr Stangways on the German dubbed version of Dr No. Some might call this tenuous - I call it a love of all things Bond!

Garrick Hagon


Another addition from Memorabilia - Garrick Hagon as a USS Wayne crewman in The Spy Who Loved Me.

The Spy Who Loved Me multi-signed photo


I've been adding to this photo for some time now....it features cats members who were involved in the Liparus scenes - mostly HMS Ranger and USS Wayne crewmen.


The photo now features:


Curt Jurgens (Stromberg)

Shane Rimmer (Captain Carter)

Jeremy Bulloch (Andrews)

Jerry Baker (HMS Ranger crewman)

Garrick Hagon (USS Wayne crewman)


Garrick signed this last weekend at Memorabilia

Shakira Caine


Beautiful 8x10 BW still from OHMSS signed by Casino guest Shakira Caine (wife of Michael Caine). This is the is second signed photo I have of Shakira on this shot. I intend to get this one multi-signed by George at a later date and keep the other just with Shakira's signature on it.

Oliver Skeete III








some more of the shots that Oliver signed for me at the weekend ...

Oliver Skeete II





some more of the shots signed by Oliver last weekend...

Oliver Skeete





Oliver Skeete was another of our guests at Memorabilia. Oliver played the Concierge at the fencing club in Die Another Day.


This was Oliver's first ever signing event. He - excuse my French - is cool as F@@k! The women just flocked around him! He is, of course, better known as the eccentric showjumper. He retired from Showjumping 6 years ago, although he still trains horses. He now owns a property management company and "does the odd film/TV appearance". Great guy!


I have quite a few spare photos if anyone is interested.

Joe Robinson IV




some more of the shots that Joe signed for me at the weekend - including one very, very rare (this is the only copy) of a shot I retouched from a torn-up photo of Joe in South Africa just after filming DAF.

Joe Robinson




some more rare behind the scenes shots that Joe signed at Memorabilia...

Joe Robinson II





some more rare shots of Joe Robinson - signed last weekend at Memorabilia. These shots are from an interview in Germany about 5 years ago. The interview was also with Guy Hamilton - director of DAF.

Joe Robinson





These are some very unique shots of Joe Robinson - backstage on the set of DAF. Signed by Joe at Memorabilia last weekend.


If anyone would like signed copies of these - or other rare shots of Joe, please let me know and I will get them for you. They would be £12 each (+P&P)

Jani Z


A very rare addition - Jani Z - one of the Octopussy girls - many thanks to Laurence for this one!

Jane Seymour


A signed 8x10 of Jane Seymour as Solitaire in LALD. It is also a very rare shot in itself. Pleased to have this in the collection (which is rapidly getting towards 4500 now!)

George Lazenby & Lois Maxwell


A very rare, and I must say, very beautiful 8x10 BW from OHMSS signed by both George Lazenby as James Bond, and Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny.

George Lazenby


Superb 8x10 BW signed by George Lazenby as Bond in OHMSS (1969) - my 29th of George (and there are probably another 30 or so multi-signs with George aswell!)

David Meyer & Paul Weston


Great multi-sign from Octopussy - David Meyer (Mishka) and Paul Weston (stunt double for Roger Moore), in a fight scene on top of Octopussy's Circus train. Signed at Memorabilia in November 2006.

Jonathan Rhys Davis


Another superb 8x10 BW shot from The Living Daylights, signed by Jonathan Rhys Davis as General Pushkin. Great to have in the collection....my 14th of Jonathan now!

Liza Ross



2 new 8x10 BW shots of Liza Ross as Mary Golson in Tomorrow Never Dies. Liza was one of our guests at Memorabilia last weekend. She is married to Garrick Hagon, who was one of the USS Wayne crew members oin TSWLM (but is perhaps better know as Wedge in Star Wars).


Liza is only seen breifly in TND, although her part did have a minute or so long speaking part. This was cut from the final edit. She does have other connections, having done voice-overs for many Bond-gilrs in the past (including Mary Stavin in Octopussy).

Mie Hama


another great 8x10 BW of Mie Hama (I have 6 now) as Kissy in YOLT. Very pleased with this one.

Master Toddy & Joie Vejjajiva


another multi-sign from TMWTGG - Joie Vejjajiva and Master Toddy. Beautiful 8x10 BW.

Qui Yuen




Rare 8x10 signed by Yuen Qui.

She apprenticed Chinese martial arts and Beijing-opera skills with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung Kam-Bo under the same master at China Drama Academy.
Cheung Cheun Nam (aka Yuen Qiu) worked briefly as female stunt and night club performer at late 60s to early 70s. Seeing the future for female stunt was not promising, she got married in 1974 at the age of 24 after finishing a small role in her so far one and only one international production - "The Man with the Golden Gun" (1974), playing one of Col. Hips's neices.

Veruschka Von Lehndorff



Some new signed photos from Casino Royale - Veruschka Von Lendhorff - who played Gräfin von Wallenstein - one of the card players at the table.


She is a real Countess. Her father was a Prussian count (Count von Lehndorff-Steinort) who was involved in a plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944 and hanged that year, when Vera was three. Her mother was arrested, and Vera and her sisters spent the rest of the war in Gestapo camps. They were reunited with their mother after the war, but the family was destitute, and ostracised by other Germans for their father's treachery. She ended up studying textile design in Florence, where a fashion designer first asked her to model. She had first travelled to New York in 1961 as plain old Vera, but failed to secure a single booking. After retreating to Milan for a spell, she returned to take Manhattan under her new name.... Veruschka!


After returning to New York and changing her name to Veruschka she was quoted as saying ..."I dressed all in black and went to see all the top photographers, like Irving Penn, and said, 'I am Veruschka who comes from the border between Russia, Germany and Poland. I'd like to see what you can do with my face.'


soon after she was a top model and was more recently ranked #23 in Channel 5's "World's greatest supermodel".


She now ives the life of an artist in a rundown area of Brooklyn, with her lover Micha Waschke, a musician who doubles as her assistant.

Terry Mountain





some more shots of my good friend Terry Mountain - Terry kindly signed these for me at Memorabilia last weekend...including a collage and a rare new shot from OHMSS. Terry also gave me his pass from the show...
