Beswick being a Young fave makes me think of Eunice Grayson. I wonder how many films she would have lasted if Hamilton hadn't come onto GF, since Young supposedly intended her to be recurring like M and MP.
Not sure if anybody remembers this story, but in the late 70s, around the time that JAMES BOND OF THE SECRET SERVICE was being talked up, Beswick had some kind of spy thriller she was trying to get off the ground, and part of the hook was that she thought she could get Connery to do a cameo as an unnamed version of 007 (sort of like what the UNCLE TV movie did with Lazenby a few years later.) My friend who subscribed to weekly Variety and THR (what else do you do with your allowance money as a teen, spend it on cars?) showed me the story immediately, and we both agreed it was never going to happen. I mean, regardless of talent, she was coming off HAPPY HOOKER GOES TO HOLLYWOOD with Adam West, and I don't think that was quite the ideal tier.
