## Biography

Harry Saltzman (1915–1994) was a Canadian theatre and film producer. He is best known for co-producing the first nine films in the James Bond series with Albert R. Broccoli: *Dr. No* (1962), *From Russia with Love* (1963), *Goldfinger* (1964), *Thunderball* (1965, as executive producer), *You Only Live Twice* (1967), *On Her Majesty's Secret Service* (1969), *Diamonds Are Forever* (1971), *Live and Let Die* (1973) and *The Man with the Golden Gun* (1974).

Before entering film production, Saltzman worked in theatre and early television. In the late 1950s he produced several British social dramas for Woodfall Films, including *Look Back in Anger* (1959), *Saturday Night and Sunday Morning* (1960) and *The Entertainer* (1960). He later produced the Harry Palmer spy films starring Michael Caine: *The Ipcress File* (1965), *Funeral in Berlin* (1966) and *Billion Dollar Brain* (1967).

Saltzman sold his interest in the Bond franchise to United Artists in 1975. He lived for most of his life in Denham, Buckinghamshire, England.
