Book Author Born: May 28, 1908 in Mayfair, London, England Death: August 12, 1964 Biography:Ian Fleming rose from a journalism career in the early '30s to become the creator of British secret service agent James Bond, among the most successful "franchise" characters in movie history. And in addition to creating the character of Bond -- from modest beginnings in a novel that sold only a few thousand copies in the mid-'50s -- Fleming's imagination also devised certain kinds of conflicts and scenarios that became standard to the thriller and espionage genres, in movies as well as literature, in the decades to follow, and which have endured long past Fleming's death in 1964. The James Bond character itself went on to spawn a string of books, movies, and merchandise tie-ins that have attracted audiences in the hundreds of millions, generated billions of dollars in revenue, and yielded the longest-running movie series in history, 45 years and counting.
