James Bond franchise

Broccoli started in the Bond franchise at the age of 22 as an assistant director on Octopussy in the early 80s. Soon after she had worked her way up further to become an associate producer on the film The Living Daylights. However, her most notable role was being a producer of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films.

Following a suggestion that the new M for GoldenEye should be a woman, Broccoli cast Judi Dench. This arguably risky move has proved very successful, giving the 007-M relationship new depth. In 1995's GoldenEye, Dench's character tells Bond, "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War."

Barbara Broccoli reportedly dated actor Timothy Dalton during his Bond tenure.
