Robert Dix may not be a name that stands out among the many actors who played in Bond films but that really does not matter. What really matters is the careers of his and his famous father, Richard Dix, now revealed in OUT OF HOLLYWOOD.

Richard Dix was a famous actor from the 1930s and 40s and a personal favorite of Roger Moore's mother (see the Live and Let Die DVD special features) who took young Roger to see those movies at the British cinema. It would be approximately twenty years later when Roger would meet Robert while under contract at MGM Studios and the two became lifelong friends. In fact, it was by chance that Robert Dix ended up being the second victim to Dr. Kananga's crime syndicate on the streets of New Orleans.

I can recommend this book, really a genuine piece of Hollywood history and worth reading for any film buff, no matter if you're a Bond fan or not. Enjoy!
