| Above, Hoagy Carmichael. |
A little bit ago, I stumbled on some trivia that I found interesting.
Ian Fleming, who created British Secret Service agent James Bond 007, described Bond's looks as resembling a certain composer, singer and actor.
According to Wikipedia:
Facially, Bond resembles the composer, singer and actor Hoagy Carmichael. In Casino Royale Vesper Lynd remarks, "Bond reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless." Likewise, in Moonraker, Special Branch Officer Gala Brand thinks that Bond is "certainly good-looking ... Rather like Hoagy Carmichael in a way.There's more!
Today, I watched the Lippert Pictures B-movie Jungle Goddess (1948) starring George Reeves, Ralph Byrd and Wanda McKay. A little while ago, I Googled Wanda McKay and found that she died in 1996. But...she was married to Hoagy Carmichael from 1977 until his death in 1981.
It sure is an interesting and small world!
