Red Grant in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963)

Red Grant is an iconic character in the Bond movie series. The first of a string of blonde muscular robotic henchmen, who are in the movies to do the dirty jobs. Usually very few lines of dialogues. Muscles are a must for these roles. 

Red Grant is physically threatening. He has a thrilling encounter with Bond on the Orient Express. His greed finally betrays him when Bond tempts him with gold coins in his gadget -laden briefcase. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)

Rosa Klebb in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963)

The movie FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is very realistic. No crazy villains with birth defects, no out of this world set pieces. The locations are all over Europe. Vienna is the last location Bond visits. That's where Rosa Klebb, the evil henchwoman from Spectre, was sent to rob Bond of a decoder gadget. She disguises as the hotel maid in this scene. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
