Cec Linder
March 10, 1921 – April 10, 1992
Cec Linder, the second actor to play Felix Leiter, was born 89 years ago today. He was no Jack Lord but he was still a great Felix in 1964! The following dialogue is from one of my favorite Leiter scenes in Goldfinger:
Bond: Special plane, lunch at the White House… how come?
Leiter: The President wants to thank you personally.
Bond: Oh, it was nothing, really.
Leiter: I know that, but he doesn’t.
Bond: I suppose I’ll be able to get a drink there.
Leiter: I told the stewardess liquor for three.
Bond: Who are the other two?
Leiter: Oh, there are no other two.

CECIL LINDER WAS AN EXTREMELY FINE CHARACTER ACTOR AND AN EVER GREATER GENTLEMAN …
A FRIEND TO ALL, HE WAS QUITE APPROACHABLE …
WE KNEW HIM VERY WELL FOR HIS MANY YEARS AROUND TORONTO AS HE WAS ALWAYS OUT AND ABOUT …
HIS LIFE WAS FAR TOO SHORT, DUE TO EMPHYSEMA, AS HE HAD MUCH MORE IN HIM TO OFFER …
GREAT TO SEE HE IS REMEMBERED SO FONDLY HERE.
