GEORGE LAZENBY
Signed black and white still from the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Lazenby's only role as James Bond
Photograph signed: "George Lazenby/007". B/w, 8x10. Still from the 1969 film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which starred Lazenby as James Bond. Australian-born actor George Lazenby (born in 1939) was Europe's top male model (1964-1968) when he was tapped to play the Ian Fleming character in 1968. Despite having no previous acting experience except commercials (Lazenby was Europe's Marlboro Man) and a bit part in the 1965 film, Espionage in Tangiers, Lazenby was given a contract to appear in several Bond features, but he bowed out after his first and only Bond film. The youngest actor (at age 30) to play the role, Lazenby was later considered to play Bond for the 1983 film, Never Say Never Again, but he was dropped from consideration when Sean Connery agreed to star in the film. Lazenby's other film credits include Universal Soldier (1971), The Man From Hong Kong (1975), The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), Saint Jack (1979), several Emmanuelle films (1992), Spider's Web (2001) and Winter Break (2003). He has also appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies, starred on the TV series, Rituals (1984-1985), and made guest starring appearances on several TV shows. Minor surface creases (not evident head on). Fine condition.
