32 | * SheAlsoDid: She helped to do some rewrites on the script for the 25th ''Film/JamesBond'' film, ''Film/NoTimeToDie''. This made Waller-Bridge the first female screenwriter credited with writing a Bond film since Johanna Harwood was credited for the story of ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' all the way back in 1963.[[note]]Harwood also contributed to the script for ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'', albeit uncredited. Dana Stevens contributed to the script of ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' (directed by her then-husband Creator/MichaelApted), but was never formally credited for her work.[[/note]] Her major writing contribution is apparently the character of Paloma, played by Creator/AnaDeArmas. |
