A Man, a producer, a pioneer... Cubby Broccoli
Filming Dr. No 1962
In 1950 he moved to London and after a while with Producer Harry Saltzman, he started one of the luckiest, long lasting and successful collaboration in the production of James Bond Movies.
They created the EON Production (Everything or Nothing Production), and in 1962 Harry and Cubby produced the first Bond movie, Dr. No, starring Sean Connery (despite the fact that Ian Fleming was not convinced about the unknown Sean Connery playing that role).
Cubby's involvement in the Bond series continued until his death in 1996 in Beverly Hills. His daughter Barbara and his stepson Michael G. Wilson,
have since produced the James Bond films and the success will continue...

Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli added: ''We are absolutely overwhelmed with the reaction to 'Skyfall' this weekend. It is particularly thrilling as the UK is home to James Bond and it being the 50th anniversary year.''
