The James Bond web site MI6 offers a piece on Ian Fleming's meeting with John Kennedy.
How does it feel to be President Kennedy's favorite mystery
thriller writer? "It's quite flattering," says author Ian Fleming, whose
melodramatic adventures of British secret agent James Bond have sold millions of
books throughout the world. Fleming, who at 54 is a somewhat older version of
his suave fictional hero, was sitting outside the tiny Turkish railroad station
of Yarimburgaz, where recently a British film company was shooting the latest
James Bond movie, "From Russia, With Love." The author had come down from London to watch. He brushed lank gray hair from his eyes and smile creased his ruddy
face as he recalled his only meeting with President Kennedy.
