Leslie Bricusse


Bondstars had two Oscar winners at the Goldfinger reunion - one was Norman Wanstall - sound editor on Goldfinger. The other was Leslie Bricusse. He wrote the lyrics for Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice. He collaborated with Anthony Newley
He didn't win his Oscars (yes 2!!) for Bond - he won one for Victor Victoria in 1982, and the most famous one for "Talk to the Animals" from Doctor Dolittle (the original) in 1967.
Peter Murton

Peter Murton was another of the guests at Bondstar's Goldfinger reunion at Pinewood Studios. Peter worked on several Bond movies....he was art director on Goldfinger and Thunderball, and production designer on The Man with the Golden Gun.
He signed this photo for me from the end titles from Goldfinger.
Peter Lamont



Peter Lamont is part of what makes Bond the way it is. Peter has been in the Art Department or Production Designer since 1964 on Goldfinger on which he was a draughtsman. He was promoted to cheif draughtsman on Thunderball. By 1967 he was assistant art director on You Only Live Twice. He was a set decorator on OHMSS and Diamonds are Forever, until he became the production designer in 1981 on For Your Eyes Only. He then worked on Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, Licence to Kill, Goldeneye, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day and Casino Royale.
Peter is now 78 and still working.
He was guest at Bondstar's Goldfinger reunion at Pinewood studios, where he signed these photos for me....
Tessa Prendergast

This is a very rare find.....a page from an autograph album signed by Tessa Prendergast. Tessa ran a small clothes design business in Jamaica. She was commissioned to design a bikini for a new spy film being shot in Jamaica. The actress the bikiini was designed for was Ursula Andress. The film was Dr.No. It went on to become one of the most iconic peices of film clothing in history.
The bikini was sold at auction in 2001 to Robert Earl, owner of Planet Hollywood, for £41, 125. It resides in the London Planet Hollywood at present.
Guy Hamilton



Guy Hamilton was one of the guests of honour at the Goldfinger reunion at Pinewood studios. The day was organised by Bondstars.com. Guy was the director of 4 Bond movies - Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live & Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun.
Guy signed three photo for me....one of which I got multi-signed with Margaret Nolan (who was also there on the day). I absolutely love the shot of Guy on the bath - he was showing Alf Joint (Capungo) how he wanted the part played.
