BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : George Lazenby was asked to make a second Bond movie but declined, due to a lengthy and restrictive potential contract. Burt Reynolds was the original choice to replace him but was unavailable. John Gavin was signed to play Bond in this movie, and had recently played the French Spy OSS 117 in the Eurospy flick OSS 117 Murder for Sale (1968).
Adam West turned down the role because he felt that James Bond should be a British actor. Michael Gambon turned down the role because he was "in terrible shape" and had tits like a woman. At the last minute, Sir Sean Connery agreed to return as Bond for the sixth time in a two-picture deal, at an astronomical salary for the time. Broccoli insisted that Gavin be paid the full salary, for which his contract called. John and Lana Wood have been involved in a decades-long feud that began during the filming of this movie, throughout the spring of 1971, when both women were dating Sean Connery at the same time.
In February 1982, less than three months after the mysterious drowning of Lana's sister Natalie Wood, St. John started a romance with Robert Wagner, Lana's brother-in-law, and eventually married him.At a Bond girl photo shoot reunion in September 1999 for Vanity Fair magazine, an altercation occurred between St. John and Wood when photographer Annie Leibovitz asked for a picture of them together.
John was so adamantly opposed to the idea that it reduced Wood to tears. Family publicist Alan Nierob, however, said it was he who vetoed the photo because Mr. Wagner would prefer his present wife not be shot with his former sister-in-law. In February 2016, Wood crashed a benefit honoring St.
John in Palm Springs and publicly confronted Wagner in front of cameramen over Natalie's death. The case has been reopened since November 2011, initiated by yacht skipper Dennis Davern's admission that he originally lied to police.She reported the threat to authorities. My first instinct was it might be Jill, trying to scare me off, and protect him.
But I'd recognize Jill's voice. It wasn't her, Wood told RadarOnline in July 2016.Wagner was officially named a Person of Interest in Natalie Wood's death in February 2018. John reportedly slammed the door in LACSD homicide detectives Kevin Lowe and Ralph Hernandez's faces when they tried to question Wagner at the house she shares with him in Colorado.
On July 25, 2018, Lana Wood appeared on Megyn Kelly Today (2017) and when asked by Kelly if she thinks Wagner "murdered" her sister, Lana said, Yes.
