Just thought I would share. This past weekend in New York, was the Big Apple Convention at Penn Plaza. I was invited to it last minute for some work I edited in a submission to its film festival. Little did I know, that 007 himself, George Lazenby would be there! I totally flipped when I heard the news. As well, there were some other guests such as Gloria Hendry from Live And Let Die, and Lynn-Holly Johnson from For Your Eyes Only.
And to my surprise, Geoffrey Holder was there as well! It was a Bond weekend for sure, with Quantum of Solace on Friday, and then meeting all these great folks on Saturday. There was a one hour panel with all four of them discussing how they got involved in the series, and what their thoughts on it were. It was a great time to be had for sure.
George was looking pretty good for his age. He was sharing jokes, and had that classic Australian swagger about him. He kept on making sex jokes with the girls while I was there speaking with them. Hehe, what a guy. Here's some pictures from the event!
If you have any questions about what went on in the panel, write 'em up here and I'll do my best to answer 'em for ya! Overall, this was a very exciting weekend for me. Nothing like meeting one of your idols in person. It was a surreal experience for sure.
