Francis de Wolff
Born January 7, 1913
Vavra in From Russia With Love
De Wolff had a lengthy acting career working with several
big names stars that included Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in Fire Over
England (1937), Robert Taylor and Elizabeth
Taylor in Ivanhoe (1952), and
Gregory Peck and Orson Welles in Moby Dick (1956). However, he is probably best remembered for his work with
Hammer Studios in which he had been a regular supporting actor.
De Wolff re-united with From Russia With Love director Terence Young for spy film Triple
Cross (1966), which starred another Bond
alum, Claudine Auger from Thunderball. And, he worked with another Bond actor, Roger Moore, in the series The
Saint.
De Wolff passed away in 1984.
Separately, heartfelt condolences to the family of Khan
Bonfils who passed away suddenly on Monday, January 5. Bonfils had supporting
roles in Tomorrow Never Dies (per
Wikipedia, but his role isn’t listed in IMDB) and in Skyfall as a henchman.
