2	->''"I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic."''

4	Barbara Dana Broccoli, [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever CBE]] (born June 18, 1960 in Los Angeles) is a London-based American movie and stage producer.

6	Together with her half-brother Michael G. Wilson, she is the current owner and co-head of Creator/EonProductions, the company behind the Film/JamesBond film franchise that her father [[Creator/AlbertRBroccoli Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli]] created with Harry Saltzman, since 1995. She has been assisting her father in it as far back as 1977. She is the daughter of Dana Natol Broccoli, the ex-wife of actor Creator/LewisWilson (Michael's father).
7
8	Perhaps Barbara's biggest impact on the franchise has been her decision to cast Creator/DanielCraig as James Bond, a move that was divisively received upon announcement but ultimately paid off when ''Film/{{Casino Royale\|2006}}'' was released to critical and audience acclaim across the board, with further films cementing him in the role.
9
10	[[HeAlsoDid She also produced]] several stage plays, some of them to great success such as the [[ScreenToStageAdaptation screen-to-stage adaptations]] of ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'' and ''Film/ChariotsOfFire''.

27
28	!!Tropes applying to her works:
29
30	* CreatorCameo: Unlike her half-brother Michael G. Wilson who has showed up as extra in every Bond movie released since ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', she doesn't seem to be fond of appearing in them. She did however appear as one of the opera patrons in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'', when she was assistant producer to her father.
31	* [[invoked]]DarkhorseCasting: One of the most famous examples in 21st century film history happened when she chose Daniel Craig, who was an up-and-coming actor that few would have believed to be a great fit for James Bond. The backlash was quite significant when he was announced, but [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail it all died down]] when ''Casino Royale'' was released to critical acclaim, broke franchise box office records and made Craig a major movie star.
32	* [[invoked]]ProductionPosse: While there's been a higher turnover rate of directors under her tenure than in her father's time for the Bond movies, screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade have written every Bond movie since 1999. She also wanted to keep Creator/JudiDench as M and Daniel Craig as Bond as long as possible, even sponsoring stage plays of the latter to keep him in during the long {{Sequel Gap}}s of his films.
