LEECH, WENDY

Contributed by: The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia by Steven Jay Rubin

(November 30, 1949–     ): British stuntwoman, the daughter of Bond stunt veteran George Leech, who portrayed the heiress kidnapped by fanatical revolutionaries in the teaser for Never Say Never Again. Brainwashed by her captors, the heiress stabs James Bond (Sean Connery) with a knife after he rescues her—but the knife turns out to be phony, and the entire rescue just a training mission.

Leech made her celebrated stunt debut doubling actress Holly Palance, whose character hangs herself from the mansion balcony in The Omen (1976).
