Steve Illing - the real James Bond 007

My next celebrity autograph blog is Steve Illing.

"Who?" you might ask?  Well, ever heard of Daniel Craig - the current actor to play suave super spy James Bond?  Remember how bad-ass Daniel is in the role?  Well, imagine that in real life, through the work of Steve Illing - body double extraordinaire!

You can read about Steve's work at the following website: http://www.bonddouble.com/


Now onto the autograph.  This was a simple email request, in which we chatted about a number of things (from the sound of it, Bond 24 could potentially have a red carpet event in Sydney, Australia), and his through the mail response (below) was pretty quick to arrive too!

Score!

Rachel Grant

My next celebrity autograph is Rachel Grant.

Rachel Grant is mostly known for her role as masseuse Peaceful Fountains of Desire in the 2002 James Bond movie, Die Another Day (starring Pierce Brosnan in his final outing as the secret agent).

However, Rachel has also appeared in TV shows such as Emmerdale, Casualty, and as Professor Myang Li in Brainiac: Science Abuse.

Rachel has also done numerous magazine shoots, and TV commercials (such as the Lynx advert - screenshot below):

In FHM:

A few years ago, Rachel was a guest at the Melbourne "Armageddon Expo" convention alongside another former James Bond, George Lazenby.  Whilst I didn't request her autograph on the day it was great to see her in person.

Now onto the autograph!  Shortly after Die Another Day had premiered I contacted Rachel via her website and requested an autographed photo.  Soon enough I received the following reply:

Nice!
