We are very sad to hear that Richard Kiel has passed away at the age of 74. He will be remembered as one of Bond’s greatest ever adversaries appearing as Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979). “We are deeply saddened at the passing of our beloved friend Richard Kiel. He was a true gentleman and will be forever remembered by the entire Bond family,” Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.
Derek Watkins, RIP
We were saddened to hear about the passing of trumpet player Derek Watkins. A legend in his field, Derek had the distinction of playing on every single James Bond soundtrack from Dr. No to Skyfall.
Our thoughts are with his family.
