In 1953, Ian Fleming published
Casino Royale, the first of 12 novels featuring James Bond, the stylish, high-living secret service agent 007, who became one of the most successful heroes of 20th-century fiction. Packed with action, espionage, and sex, all 12 books—including
From Russia, with Love,
Goldfinger, and
Thunderball—became popular films. Although it was not the first Bond book,
Dr. No was the first to be adapted for the big screen. Who starred as 007?
