What was it really like making a James Bond film alongside Sean Connery?

This week on SpyHards, we're joined by Trina Parks, who made history as Thumper in Diamonds Are Forever (1971).

Trina reflects on working with Sean Connery, filming one of the franchise's most memorable fight scenes, becoming the first Black Bond girl in the official James Bond series, and the legacy of one of 007's most iconic adventures.

We also explore her incredible career beyond Bond, from stage performances and television to her lasting place in cinema history.

Whether you're a lifelong Bond fan or discovering Diamonds Are Forever for the first time, this is an interview you won't want to miss.
