Britt Ekland never experienced the "swinging 60s" because of her marriage to "problematic" Peter Sellers. The 80-year-old actress married the British comic in 1964 following a whirlwind romance, but they divorced in 1968 on the grounds of cruelty by the 'Pink Panther' actor, and the 'Wicker Man' star is far happier with her life now than in the decade famed for wild partying. Asked if she was happier in the 1960s or now, she told The Guardian newspaper: "Well, I was married to Peter Sellers in the swinging 60s, and he was 17 years older than me. He had a heart attack very soon after we married...

Sir Roger Moore's son thinks it would be "ridiculous" if an American played James Bond. The late actor portrayed the suave spy in seven movies between 1973 and 1985 and with the role currently vacant following the departure of Daniel Craig, his son Geoffrey, who is also known as Jaffa, has insisted casting directors should only be looking for an "English" lead.

"You know, even if he's got a flawles...

James Bond casting director Debbie McWilliams says that younger actors lack the "mental capacity" to play 007. McWilliams revealed that younger stars had auditioned to play the legendary spy in the 2006 film 'Casino Royale' but the part eventually went to Daniel Craig, who was 38 at the time, as Bond bosses felt he could handle the "responsibility" of playing the iconic role. The casting director, who has worked on the franchise since 1981, told RadioTimes.com: "When we started, it was a slightly different feel. "We did look at a lot of younger actors, and I just don't think they had the gravi...

Jane Seymour thinks 'Live and Let Die' would never be made today. The 71-year-old actress played Bond girl Solitaire in the 1973 movie, and she admits that the racism and sexism that features in the film means it wouldn't be made in the modern day.
