She may have a vegetable for a family name, but Barbara Broccoli have got to have one of the best jobs in the world. Barbara, 46 (but the woman doesn't look a day over 36), is the daughter of Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli. Cubby has produced all the James Bond films since Dr. No in 1962, until his death in 1996. Since then, his 64 year old stepson Michael Wilson, who has a cameo in Casino Royale, playing a policeman arrested in front of a Montenegro hotel, and Barbara, who previously dated Timothy Dalton, who was leery, are the producers of the James Bond franchise. Under her watch, 007 have been played by metrosexual Pierce Brosnan (always thought as 'the good call') and currently, less metrosexual more deadly just as charming, Daniel Craig.
Now why am I not surprised that a woman had a hand in the casting of Daniel Craig as double-oh-swoon.
Well played Broccoli, well played.
