21st March 1946 -
Out went the humour and in came a more serious 007 in a style more
imagined by author Ian Fleming. James Bond was now living on the edge.
Timothy Dalton first gained international recognition in the award-winning
film The Lion In Winter, in which he played the young Philip II of
France.
Dalton’s first love has
always been the theatre, and after attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic
Art (RADA), he spent a period in repertory. Following this, his commanding
presence combined with his fine acting ability quickly established his
reputation as a Shakespearean actor of note while starring with the Royal
Shakespeare Company. Dalton’s early film career reflected his classical
background with starring roles in Wuthering Heights, Mary Queen of
Scots, and Cromwell. His later career diversified and his
screen roles have included a villain in The Rocketeer, a
terminally-ill man in Hawks, Rhett Butler in Scarlett, a
dictator in the comedy The Beautician & The Beast, and for American
TV, Julius Caesar in a 4-hour version of Cleopatra.
