April 28, 2007 | Filed Under  

The actor Barry Nelson, the first who portrayed the British secret agent James Bond, died at the age of 89 while he was traveling in Pennsylvania. The actor launched his movie career back in the 40s and he starred as James Bond in a live television production of “Casino Royale”.
He was an MGM contract player in the 40s, while he appeared in many movies, which includes “Shadow of the Thin Man”, “Airport”, “Dr. Kildare’s Victory”, and “The Shining”.
The actor who died of still-undetermined causes has been appreciated on Broadway, as he appeared in many successful films like “The Moon is Blue or “Light Up the Sky” in the 40s, in “Cactus Flower” alongside Lauren Bacall in the 60s and in “The Act” alongside Liza Minnelli, for which he also received a Tony Award nomination at the Best Actor in a Musical category in 1978.
Steve Goodwin, the Chief Executive Officer of the new park, said that “Led Zeppelin are the icons of hard-rock music. Parents and kids alike can relate to the band’s music.”
One year more and the new 140-acre park will be ready to receive his clients. However, those who can not wait that long can always head to the Aerosmith coaster that has been a fixture at the Disney-MGM Studios park near Orlando, Florida, since 1999.
