Barbara Dana Broccoli was born in 1960 and majored in communications at Loyola Marymount University. After graduating, she went on to work in thecasting and production departments at EON, the company responsible for producing the James Bond series. Barbara is currently married to producer Frederick Zollo and owns an independent production company called Astoria Productions. Barbara started working with her father on the Bond films at the age of 22. Her first official credit was as an assistant director for Octopussy (1983). Moving quickly through the production ranks (considering her father was the producer...) she was credited as an associate producer for The Living Daylights (1987). While she was quite limited creatively in these roles (she was a daddy's girl after all, but daddy had the last say), Barbara came into her own in the 1995 film Goldeneye, as daddy passed the reigns to his daughter and step-son Michael G. Wilson. Barbara continues to lead the franchise today with her most recent co-production, Quantum of Solace (2008). One of Barbara's most profound contributions to the series involves the casting of Judi Dench as the first female M. While seen at the time (1995) as a risky move for the series, the selection of Dench as M proved to be an valuable contribution to the development of the character of Bond. Bond had to leave behind his "sexist, misogynist dinosaur" mindset and catch up with the notion of the modern, strong women of the 90s. The move to cast a woman as M has helped to counterbalance Bond's previous inclinations as a manipulator of women. Perhaps ironically, in the most recent Bond films, Bond is in fact manipulated by M. Barbara along with M.G. Wilson also has another step brother, Tony Broccoli. |

This message can be viewed by all of us but it is personnally addressed to Barbara.
First, this Agent should be a "SHE". The "PHALLUS" symbole is in decline and quite obsolete. SHE should be the one kissing 'Good-Bye" the boys when necessary. I welcome reactions for this assertion. This was just the expression of my deepest belief. The true heros I have the privilege to keep close to during my life wore skirts. Sylvie Marie |
