- Graydon doubled for Roger Moore in Rio, once more atop a cable car. This time, things almost went wrong as Graydon slipped and was
hanging-off for his dear life by just one hand. The recce crew, including Ken Adam, were petrified while the camera was rolling and they were watching-on from a vantage point. Graydon called this the scariest moment of his stunt career.
Outside of Bond, Graydon's stunt career saw over 30 credits for stunt work including: 'Where Eagles Dare (1968), 'Don't Look Now' (1973), 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977), 'The Wild Geese' (1978), 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981), 'Willow' (1988), 'Batman' (1989), and 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' (1998).
Richard Graydon passed away during his sleep at a nursing home in England on the night of Monday 22nd December 2014. He was 92. Graydon stepped in for some of the greatest stunts in the series. Outstanding career. |
