Actor George Lazenby was the second James Bond and starred in only one film, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1969. In that movie, Bond got married, only to become a widower by the end of the flick. Lazenby couldn't live up to the larger-than-life Connery Bond and backed out of a seven-year contract to do more Bond films. Producer Albert R. Broccolli asked Connery to return to the role and paid him $1.25 million plus 12.5 percent of the film's profits. Connery was back.
