...founder Albert (Cubby) Broccoli, the two run EON--an acronym for "Everything or Nothing"--the company based in London that has produced all the official Bond films. (Never Say Never Again, in which Connery played 007 for the first time in a dozen years, is considered a rogue agent.) When Cubby's health began to fail in the 1990s, the pair stepped up to take his place. Wilson had been co-producing since 1985's A View to a Kill, and Barbara had been an assistant director and associate producer in the 1980s (see box). Their first effort: GoldenEye...
...deliver a 21st century update of that. "Filthy and snappy!" he says to Brosnan and Berry as they film the scene in which Bond and Jinx meet after her swim. He wants more lust and leer in this encounter--and the whole film. Rosamund Pike, who plays MI6 agent Miranda Frost, jokes that "Lee wants to make this an X-rated Bond film."

It paid Burrell $450,000 for his story, beating papers that had offered him much more because it agreed not to pressure him to tell more than he wanted to. Burrell's agent, David Warwick, says another paper was willing to pay $1.5 million - and after being scooped by the Mirror doubled its offer, even dangling a separate payment at Warwick as well. The papers that had their checks returned found exquisite ways to exact revenge. As the Mirror focused on What...
...Charles in 1989. The police have investigated but no charges have been brought. The Queen knows from experience how hard the scandal machine - fueled by money, vengeance and newspaper sales - is to switch off. Burrell seems not quite to grasp the tough neighborhood into which he has strolled. His agent says he is just a "very nice, nice man," and indeed there is an odd innocence about him. He wants to return to his flower shop, reclaim his trove of Dianiana from the police and weigh a recent offer to be a game-show host (Working title: What the Butler...
