Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Matt Rolloff's DUI - any lawyers around?

[LarryT (l02turner]

He was also in a James Bond flick - "The Man With the Gold Gun" - played the 
assistant (Nick Nack) of the assassin who use the golden gun - who was after 
JB.  He used to invite other "world-class" assassins to his island retreat 
for a duel to the death.  If the invited bad gun won Herve's character would 
be given all of the Golden Gun Guys stuff - Island get away, great little 
house, etc.  But naturally the Goldden guy always won - until (tada!) Bond, 
James Bond, came to the island looking for the Golden Gun guy.

Anyway - Herve' played a pretty good sized part in this movie as well as the 
"Fantasy Island" gig.  Hmmm,... $25k/week sounds pretty good to me.  I guess 
those guys ony work only 13 weeks a year (??) which works out to $325k/year. 
Yeah, that could me in Big Macs and french fries - might even put a red 
Italian car in the garage.

Trick is to stay away from 6' women and use the right head for thinking. 
Not always an easy things to do.

More info about him is found at

a "short" often sad, life.
