Terence Young: James Bond's Creator?

Who created James Bond?

The obvious answer of course is Ian Fleming.

But who really made the character come to life?

People tend to ask this about any or all of the actors chosen to assume the Bond mantle over the 35 years since the world was introduced to James Bond on the big screen. First they point out one actors pluses versus another actors faults, but theyre missing the larger picture. Who gave us the James Bond we have come to think of as a cultural icon? Who made him into a superstar?

Terence Young.

I love Bond.
