In Reply to: 'Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond' -- Can all this be true? posted by Billy Wonka on November 21, 2014 at 15:32:27:
was at an Audibon Society Lecture, sitting next to Miss Marple.
She asked what he did, he said he was writing a Spy Novel, but still didn't have a Name for his Character.
So this kind of portly Milk-Toaste guy stands up to start the Program, and gives his name.
" Bond, James Bond."
And a Legend was Born!
Really cool and funny in the Episode.
