The Really 007 podcast has released an interview with Marguerite LeWars, 82, in which the actress said Dr. No director Terence Young harassed her in 1962.
“I’m going to tell you something I’ve never told anyone ever before,” LeWars said just before the 22:00 mark.
LeWars said Young asked her to attend the wrap party in a limousine. “I’m sorry to say that Terence became aggressively making a pass at me. …He actually grabbed me in various places.”
LeWars says she slapped Young twice. The director, Lewis said, threatened to cut her out of the movie.
LeWars played a photographer in the employ of Dr. No who tries to get a photo of James Bond (Sean Connery) at the Kingston, Jamaica, airport.
“I never ever told anyone,” she repeated on the podcast. The actress said the incident explained why she was dubbed in the movie.
