Bond actors and leading ladies reuniting to celebrate 50th anniversary

London, Jan 15 (ANI): The six actors who have played James Bond on screen will come together at a lavish Hollywood party to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Bond franchise.

They will be joined by Ursula Andress, Eva Green and at least a dozen of the other beauties who have played Bond Girls since 'Dr No' was released in 1962.

The party will be the climax of what MGM calls 'a whole year of birthday celebrations for 007 in the movies', the Daily Express reported.

It will be held after October's Hollywood premiere of Skyfall, the 23rd film in a series that has made more than 3.5 billion dollars at the box office.

"It's an astonishing record for any character to endure for five decades in showbiz but I'll bet this: the franchise is such a phenomenon that in another 50 years time a whole new bunch of actors and their leading ladies will be gathering for another party when Bond becomes a centenarian," said current Bond actor Daniel Craig.
