I would like to be, in another ‘Bond’ film. I was in Los Angeles, I remember getting the call and my agent telling me to come to the agency the next day, to sign the contract!ĭo you think you could still come back to the franchise? The dress and shawl is from the designer that works for Essence Magazine.Ĭan you still remember where you were and what you were doing when you found out that you were going to be cast as Thumper? I was given the dress and jewellery and the faux fur wrap (see below) from the ‘Black Bond Women Tribute’. I learned from that, to ask to keep what costumes, jewellery, or whatever I could. No, I didn’t even take my bikini! I probably could have taken the bikini, but by the time I finished shooting, the costume people and others (make up, etc) were either packed up or packing.

I lived in Palm Springs CA, from 2002 -2015.ĭid you manage to take any souvenirs away with you from the movie? The bikini perhaps or some other memorabilia? To several ‘James Bond’ events, at the house. Yes! I’ve been to the El Rod house many times. Have you ever been back to the Elrod house where you filmed the fight scene to Diamonds are Forever? On a monthly basis, it would be about 2-3 On average how many James Bond related emails/interview requests, screenings etc hit your inbox on a weekly basis? Here below is the e-interview with Trina Parks, celebrated dancer, choreographer and teacher. Thumper is sprawled out on some of the rocks in a fetching yellow bikini inside the house and Bond being the gentleman helps her down.īut Bond is soon in soon in peril as Bambi and Thumper turn on Bond and toy with him, flipping him back and forth in a Cirque du Soleil-esque killing ritual.īond is thrown into the concrete domed pool but comes out on top as he overpowers the acrobatics of Thumper and Bambi. The next one being in February 14-24, 2019.īond initially thinks his luck is in as he is greeted by the amorous Bambi and Thumper.

By all accounts you can visit the house during Palms Springs Modernism Week that are held every year. I’ve look at the recent comment thread and it looks like the place is still under renovation. These rocks are part of the interior of the house and run straight through the walls and windows. This look was achieved by Lautner who decided to excavate the soil when building the house, but kept the rocks in place.
THUMPER BAMBI BOND FREE
It’s an audacious design by architect John Lautner and embodies Free Architecture, where nature and architecture are combined. It’s definitely a James Bond Location on my wish list.Īs Martijn Mulder so poignantly states in his book On the Tracks of 007 ‘ If you didn’t know any better then you’d think it would be a Ken Adam set‘. I personally love the scene where Bond walks into Elrod House, the villa of Willard Whyte, and is soon ‘accosted’ by Bambi and Thumper (played by Trina Parks). I reached out to Trina and asked if she had time to answer a couple of questions regarding her role as villainous henchwoman Thumper in Diamonds Are Forever, and God bless her she replied. Trina Parks is just super isn’t she? I mean really super.
