Quote :
Bond movie producer Barbara Broccoli will forever be indebted to former 007 Sean Connery after he gave up his bed so she could rest after falling sick on the set of You Only Live Twice.

The movie star had a special bed shipped to the remote island off the coast of Japan, where the cast and crew were staying, and when he learned that movie mogul Cubby Broccoli's young daughter was ill, he offered to sleep on the floor.

She recalls, "I got very sick... My parents thought I had sleeping sickness.

"The only thing to sleep on were traditional bed mats, no western beds. The only western bed had been shipped in for Sean Connery by the production and he went to my mother and said, 'Look, you have a sick child, take my bed.'

"So I actually slept in Sean Connery's bed, which I'm very happy to say!"

Looks like she wants to continue the tradition and share a bed with the current Bond.

No wonder Connery was sleepwalking through YOLT.

This certainly gives his performance a new context. And what a lucky child little Babs was, traveling all over the world with her parents, hanging out on Bond sets!

Her appetite for self-promotion is insatiable. She knew the headlines would say that she slept in Connery's bed, as well as knowing that most people wouldn't read the story to get the full context. Cubby should never have let her sleep in Connery's bed, even if she was sick and he wasn't in it. It messed up her. It did something to her. Ever since then she's been shamelessly throwing herself at the 007 actors, such as Dalton and Craig.

I wonder if Roger bought her an ice cream.

When did Babs date Dalton?

An anonymous poster in the Talkback Forums over at Ain't It Cool News said that the two dated back in the 80's. I mean, if you can't believe an anonymous fan spreading an unsubstantiated rumor that I've never heard before, who, or what, can you trust?

True. Then again, all Bab's Craig lust is based on is her championing him for the role when MGW was looking elsewhere and her rock hard nipples on the set of CR.

Did BB ever confirm that her 'high beams' were lit because of Craig, or is it possible that it was cold and windy that day?

People seem to take that photo as proof positive that BB has a ladybone for her star - like it's not even just a bitchy joke anymore.

If it was cold and windy the rest of the cast didn't seem to show it. Besides, it was filmed in May or June, right? It couldn't have been that cold. Truth was, she wasn't wearing a bra. Her mammoth juggs said everything that needed to be said. But just in case anyone missed the point, she's said things in interviews, plus her body language with Craig, that makes me think her interest in him is not just professional. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out she's invited him over to listen to her Barry Manilow collection (if you know what I mean) ((but just in case you don't, I was referring to having sex)).
