Who designed Bob Hope’s house in Palm Springs? ![]() What car in Diamonds Are Forever?įord Mustang Mach 1, Diamonds Are Forever (1971) What comes after Diamonds Are Forever? The character was created and developed especially for EON Productions’ 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever and was portrayed by actress and singer Lola Larson. What is the house in Diamonds Are Forever? Elrod HouseĢ175 Southridge Drive, Palm Springs, Californiaīambi is a fictional acrobatic guard tasked by Ernst Stavro Blofeld with imprisoning the reclusive billionaire Willard Whyte. Parks is best known for portraying Thumper in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Trina Parks (born Trina Frazier December 26, 1947) is an American actress, vocalist, choreographer, principal dancer and dance instructor. But what happened to the supporting character who got chucked out of a window – Plenty O’Toole, played by Lana Wood? Who played Thumper in Diamonds Are Forever? If Bond had actually fought like he did earlier, and STILL got B-slapped, and had a tougher time subduing them, that would have been a really satisfying scene.Who are the Bond girls in Diamonds Are Forever?ĭIAMONDS ARE FOREVER’S principal Bond Girl was Jill St John, playing diamond smuggler Tiffany Case. I wish they'd carried as much credibility as their personalities warranted. I have a hard time seeing this Bond who came off his best fight scene since FRWL getting B-slapped by these two acrobats, then immediately getting the upper hand in a swimming pool. ![]() I don't quite know what to think of Bambi & Thumper. They really are a Vaudeville act invading the spy world of James Bond.Ĭoming off OHMSS, I'd have liked a serious story as much as the next guy, but Wint & Kidd are part of the fun. It's taken some growing up and mellowing out for me, but I appreciate them. In a movie where nothing is sacred (not even Tracy), they're a perfect fit. ![]() However, DAF was very deliberate in it's kitschy tone (if only all the Bond movies were as decisive.), and Mankiewicz saw the camp in such a concept and turned it up to 11. I understand where you're coming from, tim I love the way Fleming wrote the duo and I'd love to see them onscreen in their literary form (under different names, obviously). They are both very much together (with MR KIDD probably being the bitch). There is nothing ambiguous about their sexuality either. They completely interefere when on-screen and their trail of death is quite sick ("Mrs Whistler would be so proud"). Thoughts? I expect there's probably a huge Kidd/Wint appreciation society around here (I come in peace)! Not so much an appreciation society - more of a different take on the pair. Such an unworthy demise for this underrated duo. Shame to see these babe villains dunked in a paddling pool. Bambi and Thumper were both physically threatening, visually interesting, both with ironic names and that "ambiguous sexuality" that they seemed to be going with (and making a farce out of) with Kidd and Wint. Kidd and Wint were more about annoying, crude jokes. Does anyone else wish these had been the actual, principal goons from DAF (or even a decent Bond movie)? I cannot stand the played for laughs Kidd and Wint, neither threatening but never likable in a charming way.
