I’ve been a fan of the LIFE photo archives for a while now, as they have some of the best pictures of the most iconic moments in history, but this new batch of photos is one of the cooler things I’ve seen on the site.
Back when Connery left the James Bond franchise, the studio was on the hunt for a new 007 to fill his shoes. These photos are of the casting process for ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE, and it shows the “tryouts,” so to speak, as to who would ultimately be the next Bond. In this case, it was Lazenby, but only briefly.
Check out some of the photos below, and definitely click on them to head over to LIFE for the whole gallery.
