The real James Bond
...is dead.
"London ? Retired Lieutenant Commander Patrick Dalzel-Job, whose wartime exploits made him a model for the fictional super spy James Bond, has died at 90, his son said on Thursday. The cause of death was not announced. During the Second World War, Dalzel-Job commanded one of the naval teams led by Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, in undercover raids on occupied Europe. Dispatched to Norway, Dalzel-Job saved the people of Narvik from a Nazi reprisal bombing raid by arranging for them to be evacuated in fishing boats. He was threatened with a court martial, but reprieved when the Norwegian king awarded him the prestigious Knights Cross of St. Olaf, First Class. Peter Jemmett, a member of Fleming's unit, said later that when Fleming's first Bond novels appeared in the 1950s, colleagues immediately recognized Dalzel-Job in the 007 character. "In contrast to a number of people who have claimed that they were the James Bond, Patrick has never made any fuss about it," Jemmett said. Dalzel-Job later acknowledged that Fleming had told him he was the basis for Bond, but added: "I have never read a Bond book or seen a Bond movie. They are not my style ..... And I only ever loved one woman, and I'm not a drinking man." http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/...Entertainment/ |
