It's been six decades and 25 movies since the inception of the James Bond movie franchise, and many actors and celebrities have graced the screen in that time. But, especially after this past year, which proved time is indeed a flat circle (as Matthew McConaughey's Rustin Cohle says on True Detective), no one would blame you if you didn't remember that Madonna, the Queen of Pop, made an appearance in the films—which she did (in addition to singing the theme song) in Die Another Day. So, we look back on some of those stars you might've forgotten about who contributed to the franchise's legacy.
Joanna Lumley

Diamonds Are Forever and so is Sammy Davis Jr. The legendary singer appears in that 1971 Bond film and makes a remark about how you couldn't make a cake big enough to put under Sean Connery's 007, who was suited like a wedding cake topper.
Charles Dance

Barbara Broccoli

Along with Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli has led the charge on the Bond franchise as a lead producer since the era of Pierce Brosnan, being instrumental in shaping the direction of these films.
