The James Bond Files ~ Trina Parks
 In March 2023, on his radio program Flashback, which aired online over the internet radio station KSAV, Wesley Britton continued a “James Bond Avalanche” to celebrate the 70 years of Agent 007. Featured were several authors, actors, behind-the-scenes folks, and fans of the world of James Bond. The series continued on Monday, March 20, 2023, with an interview with actress Trina Parks, best known to Bond fans as “Thumper” in Diamonds are Forever (1971). With her cohort “Bambi”, played by Lola Larson, she gave Sean Connery’s James Bond quite a welcome! In this installment of Flashback, Ms. Parks discussed working with Sean Connery, being the first black woman to feature in a Bond film, and her memorable dance/karate moves and nearly drowning on set. She’ also talked about her singing career – and shared a sample of her singing as a bonus. Also on the program was actress Max Vesterhalt, who worked with Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only (1981). The interview is available as a podcast on Wesley Britton’s podcast Remember When. To listen, click the link below.
