Albert Romolo Broccoli was born in New York City in 1909, the son of emigrants from southern Italy. He got involved in the production of motion pictures as a gofer for the Jane Russell film ‘The Outlaw’ in 1941. He quickly rose through the ranks even serving as assistant director before that film was released.
In the 1950s, Broccoli, in partnership with Irving Allen, produced a number of films in Great Britain including ‘Hell Below Zero’ and ‘Fire Down Below’ starring Rita Hayworth, Robert Mitchum and Jack Lemmon. But it was in 1961 that he teamed up with Harry Saltzman to form Eon Productions in order to create films based on the James Bond novels and the rest, as they say, is history.
The first Broccoli-produced James Bond movie was ‘Dr. No’ in 1962. Either with a partner or by himself, Albert Broccoli would go on to be the producer or executive producer of every James Bond film through 1989’s ‘Licence to Kill,’ after which he turned the reins over to his daughter Barbara Broccoli. Albert Broccoli died in 1996 of heart failure and was laid to rest in a large sarcophagus at Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles.
