She was pretty and living to 80 is a long life. I wish some people that I knew could have lived to that age.

I didn't realize that she was in "Into the Labyrinth". During its early years hat series was a staple on Nickelodeon's "The Third Eye" show. I remember that it was on during the day and my friend, and I closed all the curtains in the house. We tried to make it as dark as we could because we wanted to be scared. lol. Too bad it wasn't a scary series. It was eerie though. Some of those low budget kids shows from the late 70s to early 80s were downright creepy.

I actually like this Bond film even though a lot of people seem to hate it.

The article mentions two Bond films that were not made by Eon. I know of this one, but what was the other one? Was it the David Niven version of "Casino Royale"? If so, I never really considered it a Bond film due to it being a (bad- and I like David Niven) comedy. Although, the women in it were on par with any actual Bond girl that I ever saw.

Yes, must be the David Niven Casino Royale.

I own NSNA on DVD. When my son was little he loved the James Bond movies (he still likes them), and we bought several. This was actually one of his favourites.

Your son has good taste in films.

I don't know why this film gets the hate that it does. To me it was on par with most of the other James Bond films. They were all slightly to straight up goofy in places.

Haha, he has! Yes, I never understood the hate for this either.
