- Actress
Novelist and actress, Dana Broccoli, began her career as an actress on
the New York and Boston stage and later moved to Los Angeles, where she
met and married film producer Albert R. Broccoli. They moved to London and,
together, they formed a film company, Danjaq LLC, which acquired the
James Bond franchise and the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" property.
She said that she and Cubby had the happiest professional time whilst filming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) in England in 1967. It gives her great joy to be working again with Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, the composers and lyricists who created the original score, and to watch the development of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" as a musical for the London Palladium stage under the brilliant creative team and a wonderful cast.
Dana Broccoli has written two novels, Scenario for Murder and Florinda. In June 2000, she wrote the adaptation of her novel "Florinda" for the London stage musical La Cava.
