Death of the first James Bond ...

No, don't worry… Sean Connery did not die!

Death of the first James Bond: Barry Nelson
By "Actualités de stars "
Barry Nelson, the first actor to have incarnated James Jump, died in Pennsylvania, at the 86 years old.
His wife, Nansi Nelson, indicated to NewYork Times that he deceased last week.
Barry Nelson was an MGM famous star at the end of the fourties.
He interpreted the role of agent 007 in 1954, in a series Royal TV, “Casino”. The character (Jimmy Bond) will have lived only the time of an ... one-hour episode ! Unfortunately for him, CBS did not renewed the character.
Seven years later, Sean Connery endorsed the costume of James Bond to the cinema. Fairplay, Nelson had stated to be convinced that Sean Connery was the perfect James Bond.


... and so do I !

However fan of James Bond, I've never heard spoken about this “mini” series TV and this actor!!!
