It’s Friday and it’s the first day of Spring! Living in
SoCal, springtime has already sprung and some days felt almost summery. Anyway,
it has been an intense week at the day job, so I feel like I earned my weekend.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and do stop back by at some point and catch
with Bond 365.

Brian Wilde
Passed away this day in 2008
First Policeman in You Only Live Twice
Bond alum Brian Wilde’s career was probably not defined by
his portrayal of an uncredited role in the 1967 You Only Live Twice as the first policeman, however he did have a long
career acting on film and British television. He started out in 1952 and
finished up in 1997 with 131 acting credits to his name. He was known for being
able to deliver convoluted dialogue with ease. I watched clips of his work in
one of his most notable roles, Foggy Dewhurst, in the series Last of
the Summer Wine. As expected, he exuded
that wonderful dry wit that the British are known for that I quite enjoy.
According to IMDB, he had a bad fall and unfortunately did
not recover from. Seven weeks later, he passed away in his sleep.
