During location shooting in Japan, producer Albert R. Broccoli brought his family along with him. His daughter, six-year-old Barbara, caught a fever from the Japanese custom of sleeping on the floor. Sean Connery, whose star status provided him with a comfortable bed that was specially shipped to Japan for him, generously relinquished it so Barbara could properly fight her illness. D'awww. It's even better when you consider that his relationship with Cubby was pretty rocky at the time.
Despite being an established actress in Japan, Mie Hama (who plays Kissy) was unprepared for the extreme levels of attention and work that came with a Bond film. Sean Connery, who like her came from a working class background, took it upon himself to check on her every morning to make sure she was all right.
