The actor also shared a host of images taken from his father’s various roles over the years with fans, many of whom called the late Glover a “legend” in the comments.Among Glover’s film appearances were as Deputy Grady Coker in 1973’s Walking Tall, Duffy in 1974’s Chinatown alongside Jack Nicolson, and as a debt collector in Walter Hill’s 1975 flick Hard Times.Glover also performed in hundreds of plays, appearing on Broadway opposite Bette Davis in Tennessee Williams’ The Night of the Iguana and alongside Anne Bancroft in Mother Courage and Her Children in the early sixties.In Guy Hamilton’s Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – the sixth and final Eon Productions film to star Sean Connery as James Bond – Glover and Putter Smith portrayed Mr Wint and Mr Kidd, gay assassins who do the bidding of diamond smuggler Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Gray).The memorable role saw them complete each other’s sentences, kill a dentist with a scorpion, blow up a helicopter with a time bomb and try, several times, to kill Connery’s Bond.Speaking about the role in a 2019 interview (via Variety), Glover said: “Guy Hamilton was wide open to every idea I had and a lot of the success of the humour of that film was me.

Those were all my ideas.“The final moment in the film where Sean Connery does that rude thing pushing the hooha up my yaha and giving that character his final great sexual moment is the biggest laugh in the movie.

I remember getting a few compliments on that from the Saint, Sir Roger Moore, saying it was the funniest Bond moment of all which I.
