If Daniel Craig feels shaken and stirred as he prepares for his debut as James Bond, there will at least be one pleasant distraction.
\nThe 37-year-old actor, who was announced as the new 007 on Friday, knows that playing the super-spy will mean romancing some of cinema’s loveliest leading ladies. <\/P><\/p>\n
And he may discover that one of them possesses more than a passing resemblance to a particular Bond starlet of years gone by. <\/P><\/p>\n
For the producers of Casino Royale, Craig’s first film as Bond and the 21st in the series, are considering casting young actress Jasmine Lennard – whose mother appeared opposite Roger Moore in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me. <\/P><\/p>\n
If 20-year-old Jasmine wins the role, it will be the first time a mother and daughter have been Bond girls. Jasmine, whose mother is 51-year-old actress Marilyn Galsworthy, is yet to be screen tested but confirmed she is talking to producers at Sony Pictures, makers of the \uffa357million movie, about taking a minor role. <\/P><\/p>\n
Talks with producers<\/B><\/P><\/p>\n
“It’s at early stages and nothing has been confirmed, but I am in talks,” she said. “As soon as I heard the producers wanted to see my biography and pictures I was incredibly excited.” <\/P><\/p>\n
Her mother Marilyn, who lives in Fulham, West London, played the assistant to the evil Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) in The Spy Who Loved Me. <\/P><\/p>\n
She said: “I’d be thrilled if Jasmine gets it. It’s early days at the moment. I guess for me it’s a case of taking the old donkey out to grass!” <\/P><\/p>\n
Talking about her role 28 years ago, she said: “All I said was ‘Yes’ before I was fed to the sharks. When we were filming my death, I was dangling my feet in the freezing water when some of the crew decided to pull my legs under. The camera was still rolling and I was drowning. <\/P><\/p>\n
“The producer Cubby Broccoli liked what he saw, so when you see me on film it’s not brilliant acting but me nearly dying.” <\/P><\/p>\n
Jasmine said: “I’m sure every girl in the world harbours a secret ambition to be a Bond girl, and growing up with a mother who played one only inspired me even more. <\/P><\/p>\n
“If I get to be in this one I’ll be delighted. I wouldn’t care if it was the smallest role in the whole movie. I would rather like to play the baddie, though. I’d have to toughen up for the action scenes, but that’s the part I’d most like. <\/P><\/p>\n
“It’s a bit boring being one of Bond’s lovers. All you get is a bit of fun under the sheets in the final scene. Being the baddie is much more exciting.” <\/P><\/p>\n
