Woody Allen, of all people, played James Bond in the comedic, but "authorized," version of Fleming's Bond novel Casino Royale (1967). Every agent in the film was called "James Bond" to confuse the enemy. Allen plays agent "Jimmy Bond" and is unmasked at the end of the film as a traitor who is also the evil "Dr. Noah." A number of Jewish actors have played Bond villains. Joseph Wiseman, now 85, played "Dr. No." Wiseman has had a very distin- guished film and stage career, including playing many Jewish parts. He was hon- ored with a National Foundation for Jewish Culture Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. Yaphet Kotto, who played the nasty "Kananga/Mr. Big" in Live and Let Die (1973), has an exotic Jewish back- ground. His African father converted to Judaism while living in West Africa and later moved to New York. Kotto, who is best known for his role as the police commander on TV's Homicide, keeps kosher and does not work on the High Holidays. English Jewish actor and playwright Steven Berkoff, now 64, appeared as the dastardly Russian General Orlov in 1983's Octopussy. Berkoff has had a prominent career in the British theater. The roll call of Jewish actors who played Bond villains ends with magi- cian/actor Ricky Jay, now 55, who played "Henry Gupta," an American computer techno-terrorist in 1997's Tomorrow Never Knows. Jay has long been known as one of the top magicians in the business. However, honorable mention should be given to the late singer/actress Lotte Lenya, who played the unforgettable "Rosa Klebb" in Goldfinger (1964). Klebb tried to finish off Bond by using a poisoned, spiked shoe that killed its vic- tim "in 12 seconds." The shoe will be on exhibit in Dearborn. ("Rosa Klebb" was clearly the model for the character "Frau Farbissina" in the Austin Powers spy-spoof films. Jewish actress Mindy Sterling plays the Farbissina character.) Lenya, who was not Jewish, was one of the most acclaimed actresses of the German theater world until she fled Nazi Germany with her husband, the great German Jewish composer Kurt Weill. He is most famous for his music for The Threepenny Opera and the song, "Mack the Knife." On the other hand, two Jewish actors have played "Bond allies." Israeli actor Topol, best known for portraying Tevye in the film version of Fiddler on the Roof, played Bond friend "Colombo" in For Your Eyes Only (1981). Dutch actor Jeroen Krabbe played Gen. Georgi Koskov, a Russian who is defecting with Bond's help, in The Living Daylights (1987). Krabbe (pro- nounced "Yaroon Krabbay"), 58, is Jewish on his mother's side and wrote and directed the Holocaust-themed film Lost Luggage (1997). Now for the best part — in the eyes of many: the "Bond Girls." Jill St. John, a beautiful redhead who turned many heads, played "Tiffany Case" in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever. St. John was born in 1940 as Jill Oppenheim and has never made any secret of the fact that she is Jewish. She is now married to actor Robert Wagner. Quickly following in St. John's pretty footsteps was Jane Seymour, who played "Solitaire" in 1973's Live and Let Die. Seymour, 52, was born Joyce Frankenberg and is Jewish on her father's side. She went on to fame as Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman. Seymour was followed by Barbara Bach, who played "Major Anya Amasova" in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me. Bach was born in 1947 as Barbara Goldbach to a Jewish father and a non- Jewish mother. She is now married to former Beatle Ringo Starr. Last, but not least, is Tanya Roberts, 47, who played "Stacy Sutton" in 1987's A View to a Kill. Roberts, who is Jewish on her moth- er's side, has been married to Jewish writer Barry Roberts since 1974. Most recently, she was a regular on TV's That '70s Show. [1] "Bond.
